Hello, dear listeners!

Close your eyes and imagine yourself as James Bond 007, lying in bed, watching as the impressive specimen that is May Day walks slowly towards you, completely nude. She leaps into bed. Just before you attempt a 00-Move on her to get the party under the bed sheets started, she wrestlers herself on top of you, firmly pinning you underneath, animalistic sexual desire and perhaps something else glinting in her eyes. And then\u2026

Oh, sorry, we got carried away there. Where were we?

Ah yes, Mathieu and Edgar are back this week with the back end of their conversation with Phil. This time the trio dive neck deep into the long lost series of Find Your Fate books which served as one of the more intriguing bit of movie tie-in merchandising for 1985\u2019s A View to a Kill. Published by Ballantine Books, the quartet of entries invited readers to live a James Bond adventure by making choices that would determine 007\u2019s fate and that of the world. Think of VR but for book worms.

Phil guides the hosts and the listeners through the publication history of the short lived and hard to find series, revealing some tidbits that are sometimes just as titillating as the book outlines themselves. What would happen if James Bond found himself on the island of Dr. Moreau? Have you ever imagined 007 getting stuffed into an oven? How about being squished into wine? Would you believe it if we told you that R.L. Stine of Goosebumps fame wrote a Bond book? No? Well, have a listen to this week\u2019s episode and let Phil regale you with stuff we\u2019re guessing you probably didn\u2019t know how 007 publication history.

Sit back, relax, and let\u2019s welcome back Phil one more time. This takes being James Bond to a whole new level!*
