And one couldn't imagine a more different volume from the sixth, post-colonial text by Ales Kot (that Goodreads readers liked least so far, but I liked very much) and this sort of straightforward chronological origin story by Jeff Parker that establishes Bond's patriotic foundations (I guess the crusty, Scotch-soaked cynicism in Bond comes later). Origin, Volume 1 is the seventh in the Dynamite series updating James Bond for the new millennium, even as we await a black female Bond in the film series.
