Like Sherlock Holmes, Alice, or even the characters from the Bible, James Bond is no longer just the property of its original author. Ian Fleming may have had the imagination to create Bond, but since ''Casino Royale'' rolled onto the scene Bond has been a changing man who mimics the times he currently finds himself in. William Boyd’s ''Solo'' reverts back to Fleming’s original timeline and continues the story of that Bond, but is this a reflection of the past or today?
