Editing SilverFin (section)

===Connections to Bond canon===
* ''SilverFin'' begins with a similar opening to Ian Fleming's ''[[Casino Royale (novel)|Casino Royale]]''.
** Fleming: "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning."
** Higson: "The smell and noise and confusion of a hallway full of schoolboys can be quite awful at twenty past seven in the morning."
* Bond's Aunt Charmian drives an identical Bentley to one Bond drives in ''Casino Royale'' and in subsequent books. Bond also inherits his uncle's 1.5 liter Bamford & Martin Sidevalve Short Chassis Tourer. Bamford & Martin later became [[Aston Martin]].
* During a scene at a circus the announcer presents "The Mighty Donovan". "The Mighty O'Donovan" is [[Red Grant|Donovan "Red" Grant's]] father, referenced in ''[[From Russia, with Love (novel)|From Russia, with Love]]''.
* Lord Hellebore tells his son while they are hunting that they are a lot like Indians, and, when his son kills a deer, he says he is a true [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indian]]. This is a reference to Ian Fleming's World War II days, where his soldiers were nicknamed '[[30th Assault Unit|Fleming's Indians]]'. References to American Indians also appear in the novel ''Casino Royale'', where Le Chiffre calls Bond a boy playing Indians, and on the last page, where Bond scolds himself for carelessly playing Indians while his enemies had been working right next to him.
