I always thought it was interesting that Fleming did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I can remember watching that movie a lot as a kid. I've heard of the Diamond Smugglers, but never read it. I have been meaning to try to read more Donald Hamilton. Been wanting to really check out his Helm books. Pretty neat seeing some books mentioned by authors better known for other works.

"Blue City", as well as I can remember, was the best of his non-Archer novels. It was also made into a godawful movie with Judd Nelson in the 80s, and if you ever run across it run in another direction.
