LTP 007: Role of Honour (1984) 1:41:04

1:41:04

Another year, another 007 continuation novel for John Gardner! In 1984 it was "Role of Honour", his fourth effort, which pits a rich but disenchanted James Bond up against a SPECTRE in sheep's clothing. From computer programming to terrorist training, Endor battles and blimp jumping, Gardner leaves little on the cutting room floor with this one, taking readers to crazytown and back in this raucous spy thriller.…

His efforts lead him to a quiet bistro operated by Aline Calas, a figure whose enigmatic presence compels the seasoned sleuth to dig deeper.

Get Your Magic Mind Offer 👉 https://magicmind.com/LTP20 1972's "The Eiger Sanction" was affectionately referred to as a light spoof of the spy genre by its author, Trevanian. In some ways that claim is bankable but, in others, the descriptor really doesn't stick. Simple in structure but complex in its narrative features, this thriller is both compelling and conflicted. So grab your pitons and fasten your ropes, it's time for a literary ascent of this novel's notorious north face!…

Get Your Magic Mind Offer 👇 (https://magicmind.com/LTP20) Made rich through universal themes of duality, friendship and unchecked ambition, Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novella was a crime thriller sensation upon publication and gathered further acclaim alongside the notorious Whitechapel Murders of 1888.

Ashenden (1928) 1:59:57

12 weeks ago1:59:57

1:59:57

Throughout the first World War, acclaimed novelist W. Somerset Maugham worked for British Intelligence in Switzerland. Under cover as a writer, Maugham used his knowledge of travel, languages and culture to great effect, infiltrating high society and common folk alike in his job of greasing the wheels of espionage. A decade later, Maugham fictionalized his experiences in this book, a pseudo-autobiographical account of his time on the continent. Brimming with intrigue and colourful supporting characters, the linked stories of "Ashenden" are skillfully controlled narrative glimpses of war-time spycraft by a figure who's been there and done it.

LTP 007: Icebreaker (1983) 1:18:01

1:18:01

Happy New Year! Our survey of John Gardner's continuation novels carries on with a chat over his third effort. If, like many, you buy into the belief that a Bond's third outing is his best ("Goldfinger", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "Skyfall".... Fleming, too, wrote "Moonraker" third) then Gardner should be stretching comfortably by now. "Icebreaker" sees 007 unite with an inter-agency operation in Finland to thwart a fascist terrorist group. Join us as we explore Gardner's world of snowmobiles, double agents and smoked salmon fireside chats.…

2:20:10

Despite first appearing on the scene in 1928's "Meet the Tiger", author Leslie Charteris promoted this volume from 1930 as the proper introduction of Simon Templar, aka "The Saint". Across three novellas ("The Man Who Was Clever", "The Policeman with Wings" and "The Lawless Lady") his dandified crime-buster makes his literary debut here, taking on London gangsters, outsmarting dwarfish diamond thieves and navigating round a ring of high-seas scam artists. So polish your halos and brogues, its time for close and classy combat with Simon Templar! Fast facts (5:45), "The Man Who Was Clever" (26:30), "The Policeman With Wings" (1:08), "The Lawless Lady" (1:44:20).…

Demonic drugs, fever dream rhythms and even an orange pumpkin hat - what could be more Halloween than that! Thrills and chills abound in this twisty, influential noir.…

LTP 007: For Special Services (1982) 1:28:11

1:28:11

In his second continuation novel, John Gardner returns Bond to the USA and reunites readers with some canonical staples. Motivated by a recent spate of airline hijackings with potential SPECTRE links, Bond is sent by M to investigate an ice-cream magnate from Texas whose guarded compound and general milieu reeks of suspicion. But the decision to resurrect Fleming's narrative ghosts comes with hefty responsibilities and there's a thin line between successful fan-service and ephemeral tokenism. Join us as we go down the literary gunbarrel for another LTP 007 and discuss the finer points of Gardner's sophomore effort!…

SoHo Sins (2016) 1:50:44

Richard Vine's debut novel transports readers to the sharp, seedy world of Manhattan art shows, broken hearts and criminal enterprise. What starts as helping out a murder investigation soon becomes much more for art-dealer (and friend of victim) Jackson Wyeth. "SoHo Sins" is crafted by Vine with a knowing pen, one that is encouraged by a wealth of career experience in the art game and inspired by the busted-up detective narrators of noirs gone by. LTP is excited to be back and kick-starting a new round of reviews with this 2016 entry from Richard Vine and Hard Case Crime.…

Who killed Dimitrios Makrupoulos? That’s what obsessive mystery writer Charles Latimer is eager to find out in Eric Ambler’s classic thriller from 1939. As he racks up European passport stamps in pursuit of an answer, the dark and criminal underbelly of a continent in flux is exposed to him, offering Latimer much more than fodder for his next novel. Join LTP as Josh and Scott give chase and explore both author and novel. Fast facts @ 8:50; Summary @ 27:15; Pipes @ 44:30…
