Summary: James Bond takes on Pythagoras in this enjoyable read.
Comment: In Benson's second original Bond novel, 007 tackles a terrorist organization known as the Decada, led by a man who is upposedly the reincarnation of Pyhtagoras! The Decada is poised to provoke a war between Greece and Turkey, as well as unleashing a horrifying virus on the world. Aided by his old friend Felix Leiter(Leiter has been absent from Bond adventures for far too long) and a--surprise!-- sexy female Greek agent, Bond must follow a trail of sperm to find and stop the Decada from carrying out their mad schemes. Yes, I said "sperm." You'll understand when you read the book. Benson continues bringing Bond back to his bad habits, which were toned down in the Gardner novels-- drinking, smoking, excessive sex with women of dubious loyalty. It's about time! It's good to see Sir Miles Messervy (the former M) as well, as he has not been seen in the films since "License to Kill." Also welcome is an important appearance by Q, who had very little exposure in the Bond novels of every other author. This novel continues the tradition of making the novels a sort of "Bond boullibase"-- a sort of composite of the Bond of the Fleming novels and the films. While the story doesn't flow quite as smoothly as the Fleming or Gardner Bonds, due to prose that is somewhat lacking, it is a fun, entertaining read and worthy of the Bond tradition. Oh, by the way: awesome car!!!

Summary: Now Meet Raymond Benson. The New 007 Author!
Comment: The Facts of Death is the 2nd book of Raymond Benson in the James Bond series. If you enjoy Ian Fleming or John Gardner, you'll like this.
Deaths are occuring around the world, and at every scene there is a number left near the victim. James Bond is after this so-called Number Killer to the first death in Athens, Greece. He then meets Niki Mirakos and try to discover who or what is behind the mystery. M's fiance is killed before he can tell what he knows about the case. Bond discovers that the group behind the murders is called the Decada, with an unknown leader. Bond follows the son Charles, of M's fiance to Texas where he worked with Ashley Anderson to kill his father. Bond gets away and the clinic with the disease is exploded. Bond ends up at a casino playing against a Konstantine Romanos who is head of the Decada. Bond leaves and is picked up by Hera Volopolous. She turns out to be the 2nd in command of the Decada and the Number Killer and captures Bond. Hera kills Romanos and leaves Bond with a vaccine for the disease that has already killed several people. Bond must solve a puzzle to escape, and does while killing Hera and retrieving the vaccine.
A wild ride of a book from the start. Raymond Benson has a very different style of writing than Ian Fleming, but it is appealing in it's own way. Novice Bond fans might want to tend to go to Ian Fleming novels, but people like me, that enjoy all parts of 007 will be enjoyed by this book!
