Praise from Jordan for his friend Wes Britton's books:

On Spy Television –

I want to congratulate you on an absolutely superb job with some great information.  For people like me, who are absolutely nuts about TV, this is what we yearn for – what we love.

On Beyond Bond –

There's nobody on the planet who knows more about the spy game in movies and in books than my friend Wes . . .  In Beyond bond, you have really given us not just a great overview of the movies and television shows, but the writing . . . with the novelists and where it all began.
