Stirring up Bond saga with a new martini THERE are certain things that are known about James Bond. He seduces the women, kills the bad guys and likes his vodka martinis shaken, not stirred. What was good enough for 007 some 60 years ago, however, is not necessarily good enough for William Boyd. In his new James Bond book, Solo, the novelist has kept most of the classic ingredients of Bond - the guns, the girls, the cars - but changed one: the recipe for his dry martini.
