“THE FILE”

T2LA is an independent publication about the James Bond world: the books, the films, and the drinks within them. Written from South Wales by an American who fell for the most British world in fiction.

Time 2 Live Again takes its name from Fleming. “You only live twice,” he wrote. “Once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face.” This is a site about the second life: the deliberate one. It borrows from Bond, but not the gadgets or the glamour: the clarity. The ability to cut through the nonsense and live fully, with intent.

A scenic urban view featuring a clear blue sky, snow-capped mountains in the background, and a street lined with trees and bicycles. The architecture reflects a blend of modern and classic styles.

What we cover

  • The Books. Fleming and the continuation novels that followed, reviewed properly.
  • The Films. The canon, the casting, and what comes next. No rumours dressed up as fact.
  • The Drinks. What Bond actually drank on the page, and where to drink it now.
  • The Objects. The watches, cars and clothes of that world, judged on whether they wear in or wear out.
