How do you feel about the ones written post-Fleming? I have a couple compilations from Raymond Benson but have not found time to finish them yet. Was curious how the Bond others wrote compared, as I haven't read the originals yet.

John Gardner is actually pretty good. But by the time it gets to Raymond Benson novel Bond has become to much like movie bond and it just comes across as a caricature.
