Licence Expired

By a one-time quirk of Canada's copyright laws we have "Licence Expired", a series of James Bond short stories which, without the guidance of Ian Fleming's estate, has allowed a series of authors to explore elements of Bond's world without the typical confines. Some took the opportunity to explore Bond's retirement years, while another introduced Bond to the world of science-fiction; like Fleming's own "The Spy Who Loved Me", it doesn't always work. There are some charming entries here; Catherine MacLeod's "Sorrow's Spy" amongst the best. Definitely one to pick up for literary Bond enthusiasts (if they can find a copy floating about).
