Best read
after Thunderball
and On
Her Majesty's Secret Service, the reader finds Bond
with a personal score to settle with Blofeld after being married
and widowed on the same day. Bond finds himself in Japan and encounters
a Ninja training camp, and Japanese pearl divers while on the trail
of Blofeld.
Following
Thunderball, the film was the first to deviate seriously
from the books. Character names and location are similar, but the
plot is nothing to do with Ian Fleming - it was in fact penned by
Roald Dahl. Relying upon gadgets, such as an autogyro called "Little
Nellie", and vast sets it began the decline in the series that
led to the disasterous Roger Moore films in the 1970s and 80s.
