Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Solo is a James Bond novel published in 2013, written by William Boyd.The year is 1969, and James Bond has just turned forty-five. After an intriguing encounter with an attractive divorcée, he is called in to infiltrate the West African country of Zanzarim, which is currently engaged in a civil war against the breakaway province of Dahum in the southern river delta. His mission - to find Dahum's military leader Brigadier Adeka and... "make him a less efficient soldier", to protect British interests in Zanzarim's newly discovered oil. There, he meets a Rhodesian mercenary named Kobus Breed.Unusually full of twists and reveals for a Bond novel, so beware of potential spoilers.Not to be confused with Solo, the Star Wars spinoff film.

Darker and Edgier: Even for a Bond novel. Bond is confronted by famine, war crimes and atrocities in Dahum, and there is much more Grey-and-Grey Morality - Dahum's "happy ending" is being returned to Zanzari control as the international oil companies move in and take over.

Bulungi: Zanzarim, which is a No Communities Were Harmed version of Biafra. It's also hard not to think of Dahum as a stand-in for Darfur.

And the Adventure Continues: The ending. Bond realises Breed is alive and watching him, so he leaves Bryce Fitzjohn. M will have a new job for him tomorrow morning, and has even waived Bond's mandatory retirement at forty-five. That's his life, and he's happy with it.
