This book
is a collection of previously published short stories. The first,
Octopussy, is a conversation between Bond and a treacherous
retired Royal Marine Major. The Major, living in Jamaica and seriously
ill, is clearly based on Fleming himself, in fragile health when
the story was written. The Property Of A Lady is a story
based at Sotherby's and The Living Daylights is a story of
Bond waiting to assassinate a Soviet sniper. This story is used
in a short sequence of the film The Living Daylights, with
Timothy Dalton. The latest edition of the paperback also features
007 in New York, previously unpublished in the UK although
found in the US edition of Thrilling Cities.
