Everyone has the right to rest, even the British. Secret agents are no exception. The Secret Service considers it patriotic to rest within the empire, it is good that it has a lot of overseas territories. What do we associate Jamaica with? Of course - with rum, Bob Marley and the girls in bikinis. Although in 1958 - the year of writing "Doctor Know" Fleming was only a Roma. Bob Marley was still a hooligan in high school, and girls generally swam naked…
In such "inhuman" conditions, James Bond has to rest. And the further away, the more his rest begins to resemble the adventures of Hercules. The difference is that the mythological hero performed one feat a year and then gasped for a long time, and the tireless Bond has to do it in a row to meet a short vacation at sea.
That's where Bond is forced to go through fire and galvanized pipes , blizzards of angry harpies and deprive of sight the Lerneian hydra, which here acts in the likeness of a sea monster. And at the same time to save the girl from the dragon and immerse a good doctor in the neck in guano - and this is not a general cleaning of Augean stables… In general, "Doctor Know" - a real eulogy of shit. And now the reader will be able to understand it no worse than a qualified sewer.
In short, a great vacation was issued…. A.A.
