Book Reviews of The Man With The Golden Gun (James Bond Novels)
Book Review: A very mature comic strip, an improvement on the book.
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Lawrence and Yaroslav Horak took over the James Bond Newspaper Strip in the mid 60's and produced some of the best adaptations of Fleming's work in any medium.
After the bulk of Fleming's books were adapted by Jim McClusky and henry Gammidge, who's work today seems quite dated, Lawrence was left with two novels, The man with the Golden Gun and the Spy who Loved me, as well as a hand full of short stories to adapt, but he takes what he has and makes something memorable. Both stories are far superior to the silly Roger Moore movies they inspired; so much so it's a shame the Brocolli family didn't ask Jim Lawrence to script their movies. We may have been spared some really poor 70's adaptations.
If you are thinking of picking these volumes up, start with the Lawrance and Horak stuff, you will be rewarded.
Summary of The Man With The Golden Gun (James Bond Novels)
A brainwashed James Bond has tried-and failed-to assassinate M, his boss. Now Bond has to prove he is back on form and can be trusted again. All 007 has to do is kill one of the most deadly freelance hit men in the world: Paco "Pistols" Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun. But despite his license to kill, 007 is no assassin, and on finding Scaramanga in the sultry heat of Jamaica, he decides to infiltrate the killer's criminal cooperative-and realizes that he will have to take him out as swiftly as possible. Otherwise 007 might just be the next on a long list of British Secret Service numbers retired by the Man with the Golden Gun...20th Century Books
