The final Bond novel for FAC (although one more Bond book to go). Thunderball was a controversial one for Fleming, but still a strong entry. This has been through a rewrite recently and it a lot stronger than it was previously. A run at FAC is envisioned after this PR. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
