2 new arcs this week. Black and White and Dead all Over by John Darnton - by the title and a quick peruse inside it looks like murder in the newspaper business. Also Shadow of Power by Steve Martini - legal thriller? I know he writes them.
Draft number 2 is shaping up nicely.
Interesting quote I came across the other day from Alexander Graham Bell, 'Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.'
The new Bond book - Devil May Care, came out this week with Sebastian Faulks now helming the franchise. It was a quick read, good and rather than bringing Bond into the present day he keeps him in the swinging sixties. The plot is pure Fleming, cold war, missing/experimental aircraft, evil genius, clammy henchman, glamourous locations, death of a few minor characters, only one of whom I cared about and good old British technology saving the day. Faulks has obviously done his research well and the story fitted with nods to Flemings books like on OMHSS and The Man with the Golden Gun.
