''Solo'' is a smaller scale James Bond novel and should not be criticised too heavily for this. Boyd is able to paint a good picture of Bond the man whilst still engaging the reader with fun action set pieces. It also does the author credit that he was able to deal with heavy material in a way that links the Bond of Fleming’s original vision, with a sociological problem we see today.
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond by Ben Macintyre]] and [[The Navigator (Numa Files) by Clive Cussler]].
