To Live and Die

After the death of their man in Cairo, the bounty has been set, one million pounds sterling for the man who kills British Secret Service Agent James Bond. M, unwilling to feed his man to the dogs, forces the Service into shutdown and sends Bond on one last near-impossible mission, to hunt down the last remnants of SPECTRE before they get to him first. On assignment in East Berlin, he encounters the ghost of an old enemy. The odds are stacked against him and even the cards, in which Bond holds the upper hand, still contain the possibility of a closed casket burial.

I do not claim to own any of the rights regarding the Bond franchise nor its characters. This is a piece of fan fiction for the sole purpose of entertainment. This features Sean Connery in his last outing as the renowned secret agent between Diamonds Are Forever and Live and Let Die.

To Live and Die - Chapter 2 / The Macabre Club (1 of 2)

This is a piece that has taken seven years thus far to write, since I went to Berlin in 2009, since then I have read the entirety of the Ian Fleming books as well as the John Gardner sequels. This novel lies between the EON films Diamonds Are Forever and Live and Let Die (seeing as Gardner continued on in the trail of the novels I thought I'd fill in the gaps of the films). I have studied all these is to, the phrasing, blunt tone, use of the comma as well as the perspective of Fleming when he wrote his novels in the fifties and sixties. I have written this to try and emulate the fantastic author, as well as encompass where Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli. Hope you enjoy this piece of fan fiction!
