Sort of like Christian Grey — glad my kids have other names.

I’ve been reading Jack Reacher books, since I got 11 of them from my sister after she died, and there’s been more since. Very different from James Bond, but also a compelling mix (tho a lot less sex, yet very much not none).

I’m almost ready to read some Bond again.

I haven’t tracked any down, but he looks legit.

Not exactly a spy but as a detective working for the 3rd Reich he had to have more lives than an alley cat to survive. Definitely an anti-hero character.

In the 2000s I went back and read through about half the Bond novels. They aren’t great literature, but they are quite compelling. Fleming creates this weirdly colorful world — part somewhat legitimate spy stuff, part comic book melodrama and part sexual fantasy/fetish. It’s a special chemistry he managed to pull off.

I think Bond came straight out of Fleming’s core. He didn’t calculate those books and they would be difficult for another writer to duplicate his success. Though it has been tried. Other successful spy writers — John LeCarre and Len Deighton — intentionally wrote anti-Bond characters.

Probably had several different names during his 21 year tour at MI6.

Steele has reason to be afraid to travel. He is on several sh*t lists – especially the Russians. Travel makes you vulnerable to those who may be intending to create some kind of “accident.”

He’s also vehemently anti-Trump. Motivation enough to give the bird to AG Barr. He also has to consider that his role in this tawdry coup attempt makes him one of the perps. Why give the enemy info?
