It looks like Bond is prodding Largo to check his reaction. If someone tries to kill him, he's on the right track. Archer is not at all a parody.

It's really weird to see a bunch of places in my neck of the woods referred to in a James Bond book, but it's long enough ago it's hard to picture - no Empire State Plaza, no Montreal Olympics. I should see if I can find any of these places next time I go to Lake George.

Legs Diamond actually got killed in Albany - I used to live down the road from the place. Local legend is that the mayor sent over a couple of cops to execute him. I'd believe that - Troy was kind of where the gangsters who couldn't hack it in Albany politics ended up. Best nickname for him comes from the NYT article on his death - "'Legs' Diamond, the Human Ammunition Dump".

Oops, my mistake! Thanks for the correction. I was rowing at Brant Lake the other day, probably just a few miles from where this was set. It's an insanely pretty bit of country, but the roads are pretty narrow and twisty - hard to find a good place for a photo.

Is "Shatterhand" a normal name? It's Karl May's German cowboy character. It'd be like if he fled to the States and used Wooster as an alias.

Huh, it's kind of cool that this plot is just dicking over some Soviet handler, like it's useful but hilariously petty at the same time. Especially with the Fabregé eggs, those things are so tacky, enough that they probably got the Romanovs shot for crimes against fashion.

Yeah, me too. Although I always associate her look with cyberpunk for some reaaon. Probably got copied a lot.

Oh. You Only Read Twice? Feels weird that this is wrapping up.

I'd kind of expect a maniac like that to be able to tell by weight. Maybe if Bond pried out the primers?

Can you tell how many bullets are in the gun just by how heavy it feels? You know, as fun as it is to think of secret squirrel ways to mess with the unattended golden gun, like messing with the firing pin or something, you're right, it would be easier to just walk out and shoot him while he doesn't have his gun.

Okay, as much as the Bond franchise is chugging lately, they could make way worse films than having burnt out James Bond retire to go putter with classic cars.
