Fleming Bond elimination game

[Kristatos]

As discussed, an elimination game for Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and short stories, including my initial vote. They are ordered according to John Griswold's chronology of Bond's life, but without the awkward splitting of OHMSS into two parts.

Live and Let Die - 5 points
Moonraker - 5 points

Eliminated

21 - Agent 007 in New York
20 - Quantum of Solace

This is like the X Factor - the novelty acts get eliminated first. Now we've got rid of the scrambled egg recipe and the boring dinner party anecdote, that just leaves the "proper" Bond stories. Well, and TSWLM, but I quite like that one.

The Property of a Lady what is this one about?

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

The Property of a Lady what is this one about?

It's about 30 pages.

From wiki:

James Bond investigates a Secret Service employee, Maria Freudenstein, who is a double agent about to be paid by her Russian keepers by auctioning a clock crafted by Peter Carl Fabergé at Sotheby's in her name. The Russians have sent the Resident Director of the KGB in London to attend the auction and underbid for the item in order to push the price to the necessary value to pay for her services as a double agent

And if that sounds familiar, it's because it formed part of the plot of Octopussy (the movie). Anyway, on to my votes
