7/24/2023 0 Comments Hell architect cheatsĪnyway, I have included a taste of what's to come tomorrow and if you have the guts, go ahead and peel the covers away and take a peep of what's next Bond fan. It won't be long now till you get to the very last page and all will be over - Or has it just begun? Who knows. Hence I've been at it all day and most of last night to get them ready. I am also happy to inform you all that I have just posted another two chapters (Did you think I would leave you THIRSTING to know what happens next? Never.). NOBODY CHEATS DEATH is becoming more exciting than ever at every turn of the page. So for now just wait for QWERTY's 'New addition up now' post and start reading and I'll make you a Harry Fawkes fan before you even know what hit ya.Īs those interested can see from today's chapters I have quickened the pace. I do not care one bit believe me but If you do reply and prove impossible what Bond does in Chapter 7 then I will personally send you a signed copy of Ian Fleming's Casino Royal. There is a reason why which will of course become evident in the final chapter ) or prove that I didn't get the nuts and bolts correct. I now challenge anyone of NOBODY CHEATS DEATH's readers out there to disprove the existence of the gadgets my Bond uses in Chapter 7 (And believe me when I tell you I did not come up with the title NCD cause it just sounded good. Now then, gentle readers, listen and listen carefully: So, I sat down at my desk in my inner sanctum, John Barry's Bond Back in Action playing again and again and again through the loudspeakers above me, a glass of bubbly (Moet et Chandon and no less thank you very much) on my left, a lit cigarette (Benson & Hedges) on my right and came up with Chapter 7 'THE FAST LANE' which was posted before writing and posting this diatribe. After all, I've got all the other ingredients right (the action, the image of Bond, the gratuitous sex and violence, the briefing with M, the deranged plot which keeps you on the edge of your seat and last but not least the sado-masochistic villain) so now is all it would take is adding one simple chapter where James Bond uses a gadget. Not even a teeny, weeny, meeny little one. STOP PRESS STOP PRESS STOP PRESSĪbout twenty spectacular, razor sharp, thoroughly exciting and unpredictable chapters in one hell of a James Bond novel that indeed (I know I'm being quite modest here ) stands up with the best of them, and no gadgets. Dear friend is captured and the lucky bastard ends up the prisoner of a sadistic and very very sexy lesbian killer (Poor Bond lucky Leiter ) while Bond is left with egg on his face trying to put things right with the aid of a sexy French bomb shell. Bond escapes again thanks to the timely intervention of his rage and after killing first sadistic creep gets help from a dear American friend. Bond is then recaptured (poor sod) and again tortured by the first sadistic creep. ![]() ![]() Bond is then, once again, tortured violently but escapes this time thanks to the timely intervention of a very sexy lady. Bond is tortured but escapes thanks to the timely intervention of a once in a hundred years storm and ends up half drowned in hospital from where he is abducted again by two sadistic and creepy creeps. So, like a good, kind hearted writer that I am, I went through the story again inside my mind :īond is on holiday and is captured by one heck of a sadistic creep. ![]() Harry Fawkes' James Bond was, albeit being one hell of a lucky bastard, quite down to earth as far as gadgets were concerned. My first response to that was: 'Helloooo, I've tried writing something different than what's out there at the moment thank you very much or haven't you bleedin' noticed yet?' But then I realized that they were right. Down to earth because he doesn't use any gadgets.'. I received two e-mails from two CBn guests who stumbled across my work of art in the FF page and have dared to complain that my Bond was too, quote, '. Most of the time you see I'm a Dalton type of guy, if you get my drift, so I don't like my gadgets taking over the limelight of my hero.Īnyway, to the point cause I'm drifting away here. ![]() I myself prefer Bond battling it out alone, without the help of mind boggling contraptions. However, some Bond fans have become so used to the James Bond gadgets that a JB film or JB novel without them is seen as a sacrilege. That's a different matter altogether young man). Now due to the fact that I am writing a novel (following in his footsteps I mean) in which his beautiful creation is the star, I have tried to do the same (stop laughing cause I'll send Amon Locke out for you ) and get the nicks and Knacks right (don't mention the smoking MkB. Granted, as a writer of fiction he did sometimes make use of what is referred to as 'artistic licence' but very rarely. As all literary Bond lovers know fine well, Ian Fleming was the type of writer who always strived to get the nicks and knacks of what he was writing about right.
