Speaker 1: Welcome to the WBZ book Club. As a James Bond fan,
Speaker 1: there's sure some disappointment that the progress of the next
Speaker 1: movie is in limbo due to corporate infighting with Amazon
Speaker 1: and Barbara Broccoli. But there were always the Bond stories
Speaker 1: in book form, from an array of originally in Fleming
Speaker 1: classics to novels written by contemporary writers. And I want
Speaker 1: to recommend a trio of Bond novels written by Anthony Horowitz,
Speaker 1: writer of the Alex Ryders series and much more. Three books,
Speaker 1: all of which take place in the nineteen fifties, closely
Speaker 1: linked to the Fleming era, with a young Bond reflecting
Speaker 1: on previous missions and taking on new Cold War challenges.
Speaker 1: If you're going to read them, the three in order
Speaker 1: would be Trigger Mortis, a post Goldfinger saga, Forever in
Speaker 1: a Day, a prequel to Casino Royale, and the finale
Speaker 1: called with a Mind to Kill, featuring a brainwashed seven
Speaker 1: sent to assassinate the Secret Service Boss m. Anthony Horowitz
Speaker 1: is another fine writer who carries on the tradition that
Speaker 1: Ian Fleming started the book club. WBZ, Boston's news radio
