Ok we watch the jamews Bond movies and some read the books and imagine bond as the runner, but, forgetting that he's a govenrment agent, look at his opposition in the books and those are more the shadowrunners, if you look beyond the ties to the soveit union.
For example: Live and Let Die, Casino Royal and Property of a Lady are all about money laundering. To some extent so is Diamonds are Forever. From Russia with Love is about false information, the plan is to lure Bond into a situation where he will be compromised. Thunderball is blackmail and theft of a well guarded object Moonraker is about discrediting a major project. in fact the only Bond stories that seem to have bond as the runner are: For Your Eyes Only- an assassination A View to a Kill- covering a defection from A to B A Quantum of Solace. well sabotage. |
