|summary=When Bardolph Middle placed an ad in the paper proclaiming he was a writer, he thought he might get the odd request to write a speech or two. Maybe, if he was very lucky, a company might ask him to conceive an entire marketing plan and advertising campaign. What he never expected was this job offer... An hilarious must read comic/literary novel.

|summary=The man and the man behind the man. Bond fans won't need to be told twice to go out and buy this. For everyone else, this is a case study about an author whose strange life led to the creation of one of the most enduring action heroes the world has ever known. I'd still ask them though, why the hell aren't you a Bond fan?
