Bond books - do they get better?
I must have read all or nearly all of the Bond books when I was a teenager. As I recall, Thunderball was another standout. Bond was always one for living large, and it was catching up with him. (If I'm not mistaken, he was smoking 60 cigarettes a day at the time; not at all the kind of thing that tends to keep a suave secret agent in top fighting form, and that's not counting his daily consumption of alcohol!) So M sends him to a health spa to whip him back into shape, and the people at the spa, of course, try to kill him.
