Thunderball By Ian Fleming

Hello, dear listeners! A healthy body means a healthy mind, and we at the James Bond Complex take physical health very seriously, which is why we decided to spend a few weeks at the Shrublands health clinic near London. That’s right, it’s back to Fleming’s world for a discussion about Thunderball. Mathieu and Edgar felt so refreshed and enlivened following their stay at Shrublands that they left no stone unturned in their review. Does the novel take too much of a roundabout way to get to the point? Did Bond sleep with Patricia Fearing after all? How awesome is Felix Leiter when talking about alcohol measures in olive martinis? Many topics are discussed and many lessons are learned along the way, most importantly that you should never toy with nuclear arms; it isn’t good for your sex life.
