..for change of the pace, something easier:


"At sight of Bond the negroes' mouths fell open in astonishment. A cigarette dropped from the mouth of the man at the wheel. Then they both dived for their guns. Instinctively, Bond shot first at the man standing, knowing he would be quickest on the draw. The heavy gun roared hollowly in the garage. The negro clutched his stomach with both hands, saggered two steps towards Bond, and collapsed on his face, his gun clattering on to the concrete. The man at the wheel screamed as Bond's gun swung on to him. Hampered by the wheel the negro's shooting hand was still inside his coat. Bond shot straight into the screamind mouth and the man's head crashed against the side window."

Take two:

"Bond looked at the whisky bottle, then made up his mind and poured half a glass on top of three ice cubes. He took the box of benzedrine tablets out of his pocket and slipped a tablet between his teeth.
'Here's luck,' he said to Strangways and took a deep swallow. The sat down and enjoyed the tough hot tasteof his first drink for more than a week. 'Now,' he said, 'tell me exactly what they do when they're ready to sail. How long it takes them to clear the island and get through the reef. If it's the last time, dont't forget they'll be taking off and extra six men and some stores. Let's try to work it out as closely as we can.' "

(dont tell me no one here reads the original Bond books?)

I haven't read them, but I recognize the name Strangways from the first film, Dr. No. I don't know if the book is similarly named.

Dr. No is its own book - this is the other book he makes appearance. good guess though!
