# wasn't his idea though
and don't think he's making all that much from it (compared to the contracts he has on his own books)

# hmm, maybe
books about james bond have written but there was no need to focus on it being written as fleming, it is madness. I like Faulks' work I do but Ian Fleming is he not.

*searches for pipe*

# In fairness Faulks only claimed to have gotten 80% Fleming
which is enough, imho.

# you know that sounds like Faulks has taken the essence of Fleming
and incorporated him into his own DNA but only got 80% complete.

Or did I miss the joke?
It's been a long day and I've been asleep for most of it

# well ian flemings estate approached faulks and asked him if he'd do it
when he said yes faulks decided to approach the work in a similar way to that of fleming writing the book in about six weeks.

i see nothing wrong as this is an officially sanctioned novel to mark what would have been flemings 100th birthday.
