     @nwhyte I have read all of O'Donnell's Modesty Blaise stories - prose and comics - and found them to be reliably entertaining, if occasionally ludicrous in their premises. He had a knack for writing engaging characters, and while they are of their time, they were generally more ahead of their time than many of their contemporaries.
     I've been curious about his romances, but didn't think they were still in print.

     Moonraker’s Bride, by Madeleine Brent
     The plot twists are pretty absurd, and yet I kept on being sucked back into it.
