Derek Armstrong’s MADicine satirizes the great action satirist Ian Fleming

Derek Armstrong published by Kunati novel in time for Ian Fleming’s birthday celebrations.

Largo, FL, May 30, 2008 — Celebrate the upcoming centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth by reading this book,” wrote Mary Frances Wilkens in the American Library Association’s Booklist Magazine’s starred review of MADicine by Derek Armstrong , published by Kunati novel in time for Ian Fleming’s birthday celebrations.

Armstrong manages the difficult proposition of satirizing the very genre in which he’s writing,” the review continues, “but not settling for a simple spoof. Like Ian Fleming, he somehow combines over-the-top satire with genuinely suspenseful action. His ear for funny and believable dialogue goes a long way to making this trick possible.”

Armstrong himself is quick to point out that he is a fan of James Bond 007 and Ian Fleming, but “Alban Bane, my main character, is not a spoof of the great spy. This is satire, and adventure, and a thrill-ride, in honor of the great Ian Fleming, but in no way a silly spoof.

Another reviewer TK Kenyon, author of Callous and Rabid, wrote: “I don’t care as much about this 007 satire, but MADicine really does go beyond taking pokes with a satirical stick. The characters are very well developed. There’s a spontaneous energy and creativity to Armstrong’s clever writing that is hard to resist…”

Hot new author Karen Harrington, herself picking up starred reviews and major buzz for Janeology, wrote: “Who can resist a character who, when asked by a young kid on a plane if he is like James Bond, responds, “Better looking and funnier.” This is a thriller with charm, humor and sexy-edge. Armstrong’s dialogue is so smooth, you will feel as if you’re hearing the characters, rather than merely reading them.”
