Despite being a South African "uitlander",  I found the depiction of the Afrikaner as being so dumb, angry and biased insulting. They are in fact very cultured with a wonderful sense of humour. The regime depicted in the book would never have been tolerated by its own people.I do realise that it is a novel, but no way would Mr Bond depict the US Government and its various agencies is such a poor light. After all, covert racism is still a problem in the USA - just ask Morgan Freeman!The techno side of the story is very good as expected.
