Been done.

Anyone remember that awful Tim Dalton Bond movie “License to Kill”? Same thing. Bond wanted revenge for some bad guy injuring his American CIA pal Felix Leiter and is forced to give up his “Double-0” status. He goes off solo to get said revenge (even though ‘Q’ does help him out on the sly).

The Daniel Craig version of Bond seems like the kind of guy who would hoist the middle-finger salute to ‘M’ and go off on his own.

Was done before that. Apparently this novel closes the Fleming/Amis Bond. Geoffrey Jenkins wrote a Bond novel for Jonathan Cape, which was rejected, called Per Fine Ounce. Not much of the novel remains except This.
