I liked Len Deighton’s “SS GB”, based on the Germans winning
WW II...spooky. I also liked Ian Fleming...have a feeling he had a James Bond kinda’ life. Buzz is he was in intelligence during WW II. I seem to recall he “got in the family way” some aristocar’s wife, she divorced and Married Ian Fleming, I think she was in her 40’s, and their child was called Caspar. He wrote at his house (in the Bahamss I think), and the place was called Golden Eye, and was opened to tourists. Maybe still is. His child, Caspar, was a suicide not too many years ago.
