"He's dead, James. At twelve-hundred hours last night gunshots were heard, at thirteen-hundred the police were present and investigating, the body of James Bond was found, deceased..." James Bond has died. Agent 007, the deadly, charismatic gentleman who has saved the world time and time again, has finally met his end. Next in line to replace him is Agent 008, James Bland, who isn't quite right in the head. Along with being an amnesiac, he also finds himself uninterested in the more exciting things in life, instead deriving pleasure from mundane experiences like ironing clothes or watching paint dry. His strangely ordered mind and his combat skills are invaluable tools, but will they be enough to stop a new, more powerful threat than MI6 has ever faced before? One that killed the legendary James Bond? Some names were made on fantasynamegenerator.com! I wrote this story a while ago, back in 2017, and have only minimally edited it for Wattpad to preserve the original spirit.
