Review compares classic Ian Fleming Bond stories with modern continuation novel

This review covers two books related to the James Bond franchise. The first, "Anthology #72 Octopussy" by Ian Fleming, is a collection of four short stories, including "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights," originally published in the early 1960s. The reviewer notes Fleming's writing style and contrasts it with modern espionage authors, highlighting historical context and cinematic adaptations. The second book, "Hurricane Room" by Kim Sherwood, is a contemporary continuation of the James Bond canon, set in 2004 and 2022, featuring a younger Bond and new agents dealing with a revived SMERSH-like organization. Sherwood's novel is described as a lengthy and character-driven narrative that requires suspension of disbelief. AI
