BEER Group Read. Bond, James Bond

[Mark Kohut]

is it Robin always askin' about the James Bond references in Bleeding Edge?
 
Here is from a review of Willim Boyd's newest authorized book in the franchise:
"For a character who, as Simon Winder noted in an insightful 2006 book, “The Man Who Saved Britain,” arrived to uphold British self-esteem just as its vast empire was breaking up, it feels to the reader like an uncomfortably neo-imperialist assignment."
 
Think TRP thinks the Bond fantasy applies to these United States as well?
