![]() ![]() A nice phallic rocket and a slightly naughty underwear shot (resonant of the beach skinnydipping scene with Gala Brand under the virgin white cliffs of the Kent coast).įor anyone else who embarks on Trigger Mortis, and don’t get me wrong it’s an entertaining enough read, there are a couple of fine machines towards the climax which are worth following up. This is the edition I read, picked up at Black Gull Books, East Finchley. The Pan ones are charming version after version. The flame cover of the Jonathan Cape 1st edition of April 1955 was conceived by the author. Though even the cover loses out to echt Fleming. Somehow Trigger Mortis fails to capture the essence of Bond – it lacks his hard brutality and the underlying S&M going on in Fleming’s books. Versus this one, set in 1955 (I think) and published in 1955: So that’s this one, set in 1957 and published in 2015: The question was: Is the cover superior to the content of the new Bond book by Anthony Horowitz? I ended up reading it as a double bill with Fleming’s own rocket book Moonraker. ![]()
