New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
007 Globalist Agent Provocateur is like no other book on the subject of James Bond!
(This book will be of particular interest to the "Craig Not Bond" contingent.)
The book is available on Amazon in both print and Kindle editions:
Author Gregory Klein brings together an extensive knowledge of Bond, spiritual archetypal mythology (which plays a major role in “Skyfall”), and geopolitics (which plays a major role in all the Bond movies) in an entertaining and informative package. This two-book treatise also contains much extra material. The package is intended to be a spiritual-geopolitical awakening agent for the James Bond fan and includes the following:
Book One: SpyFail -- An Irreverent 007-Part Critical exposition on Skyfall and Bond at 50 for The Discerning 007 Fan with a Pithy Bondian Sense of Humor. This book covers “Skyfall” in detail -- including an extensive exploration of the movie’s story themes.
Mr.Klein, with Bondian Snarkyness, gives Book One the following alternate titles:

Book Two: Detente Indeed! -- Bond as A GeoPolitical Awakening Agent. This book explores each and every James Bond movie in the light of Bond’s GeoPolitics -- and those GeoPolitics are not what you may think.
James Bond Extras -- This section explores the two confused periods in 007 movie history -- the late 60s / early 70s period and the mid 80s period. The section also includes the author’s personal rankings of the major Bond movie elements.
Stealth -- This is an outline for a new super-spy movie script inspired by James Bond but improving upon the 007 standard.
GeoPolitical Supplement -- This deliberately “out-of-place” section is not directly relevant to Bond but is provided to complete the author’s intention of using the 007 movies as a GeoPolitical awakening agent for the Bond fan.

Welcome to the forum. I like the sound of the book and will have a look at the Amazon page and sample.

Re: New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
Good luck with the book.
Re: New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
I had a look at a preview on Amazon. It looks quite interesting, but I think you'd be wise to hire an editor for the 2nd edition. I noticed a lot of typos etc, and I fear it might hurt sales of your book. I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but I do believe that it pays to have a professional-looking product.

Hmm. I'm not sure how there could be typos and errors. I'm an English major, a professional writer with an excellent grasp of the English language, and I write w/spell check turned-on. Could you be more specific?

Re: New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
Perhaps "a lot" is overstating the case. I had another look and only noticed a few (The Coen Brothers' surname misspelled as Cohen on page 25, "Sillouete" on page 71). I think they got magnified in my mind because a couple of them were in chapter headings, and thus reproduced in the table of contents ("Its" written as "It's" in chapter 004, a missing "to" in chapter 006).gklein wrote:Hmm.

Re: New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
I hope the book does not get negative reviews from the Craig fanatics. They are very sensitive about criticism of their hero.
Re: New Book: 007 Globalist Agent Provocteur
Astroturfing is rife on Amazon. If the book sells well enough to get onto Sony's radar, you can expect a host of 1-star reviews, written by a low-level PR flunky using dozens of sock-puppets.Capt.
