James Bond: The Man With the Golden Gun free download by Ian Fleming
Publisher: Titan Books
Jim Lawrence and Yaroslav Horak took over the James Bond Newspaper Strip in the mid 60's and produced some of the best adaptations of Fleming's work in any medium.
After the bulk of Fleming's books were adapted by Jim McClusky and henry Gammidge, who's work today seems quite dated, Lawrence was left with two novels, The man with the Golden Gun and the Spy who Loved me, as well as a hand full of short stories to adapt, but he takes what he has and makes something memorable. Both stories are far superior to the silly Roger Moore movies they inspired; so much so it's a shame the Brocolli family didn't ask Jim Lawrence to script their movies. We may have been spared some really poor 70's adaptations.
If you are thinking of picking these volumes up, start with the Lawrance and Horak stuff, you will be rewarded.
