Bonds Books

WILLIAM BOND is one of my favorite authors, and number one in the field of Matriarchy. This book is mystery mixed with sexual fetish excitement, but as always has that great message of female power. Whatever William Bond sets his mind to writing, he does well, he gives Dan Brown a `run for his money' with this one, it's suspenseful. I love everything William writes, he is tapped into a deeper realm and his work comes from a supernatural energy, the presence of the Feminine Divine. I have never read anything of his that was less than good, and I have three of his books and about fifteen articles. You will not be sorry you bought this, it will make you smile.

This is a great little reference book for the bizarre names of New England towns. Why is Massachusetts called Massachusetts? Buy this treasure and find out.

Never Dream Of Dying concludes the three part Union series with a bang! It is quite possibly the best book by Raymond Benson, (except maybe High Time To Kill being better.) It's full of great action, Bond girls, over the top villias and a magnificent plot.
The book begins with 007 engaging in a police raid of a suspected Union headquarters that ends up going terribly wrong and killing innocent people. M then gives Bond the assignment to find Le Gerant, the head of the Union. Bond questions a Union member called Yassassin, but he is killed before he can divulge and information he knows. Bond discovers that all the Union members have tattoos on the retinas of their eyes. Bond travels to Paris and meets the suspicious film maker, Leon Essinger and his distant wife and actress, Tylyn Mignonne. Bond finds out that Essinger also has one of the Union tattoos. Bond searches Essingers boat, when a large scale battle breaks out, with Bond appearing to be dead. Bond is alive and kidnapped where he meets a person he thought dead years ago. Marc-Ange Draco, head of the Union-Corse and father of Bond's dead wife, Tracy. Bond discovers that Le Gerant is actually Draco's son. Bond meets up with his old friend, Rene Mathis, who is now working on the case with him. He is captured with Mathis and brutally tortured, by having their retinas burned. Bond escapes in a fury and finds out that Essinger and the Union are planning to explode a bomb t the Cannes film festival, where his new movie is opening, this will kill many members of the British royal family who are at the festival. Bond arrives just in time and stops the bomb, he also discovers that Draco was behind the bombing as well, and Essinger is taken away. Bond rescues Mathis and finds out that Draco, who was once Bond's friend, wants him dead because he thinks Bond was responsible for the deaths of his wife and child, that were in the building of the police raid in the beginning of the story. Bond kills Draco and destroys the helicoptor that Le Gerant was escaping in. This concludes the Union organization and the Union series. One member remains however, Goro Yoshida, who was planning with the Union. Bond deals with him in the next book by Raymond Benson.
Never Dream Of Dying is a magnificent Bond book!

This is a MUST own for junk bond junkies.

The characters are real people, the setting is here and now, and the plot is so full of surprises that I didn't want to put this book down! There is a note of humor that runs through the chapters, and brings on the more than occasional chuckle. The intricate plot is woven smoothly and simply, and is easy to follow. After reading this book I was left in thought for several hours recalling old news broadcasts, stories, and events that I could relate to the plot. What fun it is to read a book that sparks the imagination!

This book is a must for all horse lovers, I love Pony Boy's observations, after reading what women had to write about their horse's, I myself can not finish a few stories, without crying. It evokes my deep inner most feelings that I have had for horses since I was 8 years old. To have someone to beable to related to horse lovers inner most feelings is a gift. The Photgraphs are spectacular.

I recommend this work to anyone interested in Africa - quite possibly the best you can get without going to Botswana.

When Alma Bond, a practicing psychoanalyst of 38 years, discovered she was to be a grandparent, she kept a diary to record the child's intrauterine development as well as any psychological changes within her family. What she discovered was far more than she had expected.

Suddenly, or so it seems, our children are all grown-up & having children of their own. Whatever happened to all those fond, dim memories of their childhoods? Where were we, as parents? What are our children's memories of what we were doing in our own prime of life?

This is a sincere record of the author's insights, her musings on what she learnt from the travails of her patients' lives, her examination of her feelings toward her own mother, as well as her very real wisdom about how our minds work through our struggles

A fascinating journal of exploration & the perfect gift for anyone about to graduate into grandparenthood!

This Thorndike Press version of this novel is a real treat for the seeing impaired. The large print is a joy and easy to read and the hardcover binding and design is very good too.

As for the novel itself, no one will ever mistake Fleming's works for Hemingway or even Agatha Christie although at some points, Fleming's writing comes close to imitating their styles but when it comes to fast moving and great plots, this novel is probably the best Bond adventure ever written.

The writing is rather juvenile and reminded me of one of the Hardy Boy's adventures that I used to read as a child but if you take this as extremely light reading to pass the time (I read this while recovering at hospital and completed it in less than two days although I spent most of the time sleeping)you will not be disappointed.

This quick page-turner has a number of plot twists and colourful characters such as Bond's father-in-law, the crime syndicate head and his wife, Tracy, his arch nemesis, Blofeld and Ms. Bunt among others.

What's really good about this novel though is that we get to see a soft, vulnerable side of James Bond here. Bond seems to be tired and a little fed up of spying and even considers resigning. He starts to reminisce about Vesper, his love interest from his first adventure in Casino Royale and decides to make a pit stop there, ironically finding the real love of his life there as well!

Overall, we get a much more believable character who is a lot more human than in his earlier portrayals in what would be Fleming's 3rd last Bond novel. If you are a fan of James Bond but not necessarily great writing, this is probably the best Bond adventure that you can get which truly gives you an insight into every aspect of the character. You actually feel his sorrow at the end as Bond becomes more human here.

This novel may actually be a response to Fleming's many critics at the time which even included John Le Carre who complained that Bond was simply a thug who apathetically commits crimes against humanity as a normal course of life. The Bond you see here does not fit this description anymore.

Recommended reading.

This is a pretty interesting collection of poems. Some good stuff here. I read a copy a few years back; now I'm trying to get ahold of one again.
