00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the WBZ book Club. As a James Bond fan,

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>there's sure some disappointment that the progress of the next

3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>movie is in limbo due to corporate infighting with Amazon

4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>and Barbara Broccoli. But there were always the Bond stories

5
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 1>in book form, from an array of originally in Fleming

6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 1>classics to novels written by contemporary writers. And I want

7
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to recommend a trio of Bond novels written by Anthony Horowitz,

8
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>writer of the Alex Ryders series and much more. Three books,

9
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 1>all of which take place in the nineteen fifties, closely

10
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>linked to the Fleming era, with a young Bond reflecting

11
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.079
<v Speaker 1>on previous missions and taking on new Cold War challenges.

12
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to read them, the three in order

13
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 1>would be Trigger Mortis, a post Goldfinger saga, Forever in

14
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>a Day, a prequel to Casino Royale, and the finale

15
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>called with a Mind to Kill, featuring a brainwashed seven

16
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>sent to assassinate the Secret Service Boss m. Anthony Horowitz

17
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>is another fine writer who carries on the tradition that

18
00:00:52.679 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Ian Fleming started the book club. WBZ, Boston's news radio
