As far as I remember this the first book featuring 00-X agents I read and i had a lot of fun.
I'm not able to compare to Fleming's books and I think this enabled me to read and judge this book according to its merit.
It's an entertaining, fast paced, and action packed story. The characters are well developed and I liked them.
I think that the inclusivity is a sign of the times more than any woke-or-whatever sign.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
