( Gardner is the author of the three new James Bond books. ) Boisie somehow stumbled into the assasin business and since he doesn't like violence, hires an old friend ( a hood ) to "do the deed". /* End of text from convexs:net.books */ Hmmm, nice original touch -- I wonder which came first, these books or the late 60's Rod Taylor spy spoof ("The Terminator" ???) with exactly the same plot line???? blues, II (the opinions expressed here are those of my great-uncle Julius...)
