James Bond was raised a Calvinist, as was Fleming. In "You Only Live Twice" we learn James Bond's father was a Scottish Presbyterian and his mother was a Swiss/French Huguenot. They were killed in a skiing accident when Bond was 11.

Fleming's books are great, especially the last four.

"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action." -- Ian Fleming

I have never read any of his books.

Will be on the road in a couple of weeks, may have to check one out.

I love James Bond. I told my family that when I retire I want to take up being an international spy with a license to kill. In fact we were just talking about this at dinner tonight. If I had a license to kill, I bet I could convince some of my project managers to get me their budgets a bit faster.
