    About this ebook

    The Bond Code is the remarkable story of how Fleming's association with the occult world led him to create a masterful series of clever clues, ciphers, and codes within his books. Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond piece by piece from the novels and films used to create his aura of mystique. This book not only introduces new material, but also radically reappraises everything we thought we knew about Bond—and his creator.

      Awful. The thesis is that the Fleming/Bond novels encrypt some alchemical references. The evidence is scanty, the writing uninspiring, and the hypothesis a stretch. Throwing this book right out. Why one star? Havent figured out how to give zero.
