Commander John Storm RN, hails the 'KoolArctic' British Antarctic survey ship from the helm of the Elizabeth Swann. John, Dan and Charley, are adjusting to the sub zero South Pole temperatures, by dressing in warmer gear. John has always been a fan of the famous explorers: Sir Ernest Shackleton and Captain Robert Scott.

Grateful in terms of his researches, an in that John Storm is already en-route to Antarctica, he agrees to help the incumbent government out, and is temporarily seconded to the British Royal Navy, as they realise the situation in Antarctica is deteriorating. In particular, when the crew of the KoolArctic contact their superiors to report the carnage onboard.

Where it appears there may be a dangerous newly discovered species, or even an alien responsible for the deaths of two crew members. The British PM, Ministers and Secretaries of State, do not want to take any chances.

John is made a Commander (Master), given that temporary rank as a naval attaché, seconded to NATO and the MOD to give him authority in all matters concerning the British Antarctic Survey and any covert missions of His Majesty's Secret Service. John refers to the Royal Navy as "The Admiralty." And the 'King' as the "Chief," with reference to his theoretical ranks as Commander in Chief of the British armed forces.

In fact, John has become a secret service agent, part of what was once MI6, military intelligence. John only agreed to help out, because he admires the policies of Honest Johnson, the nickname for Prime Minister Edward Thomas. He is distrustful of many who operate in secret service circles, especially Jack Mason, a CIA operative, who appears to have many alternative agendas, apart from actually cooperating fully in whatever the missions he may be involved in. Fortunately, Mason is not in the mix in this mission.

John cannot escape the feeling that his Antarctic heroes are watching over him. He dreams of Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton, with occasional visions of the Endurance, which he knows is at the bottom of the ocean, in exceptional condition.

We asked Microsoft's Bing: How does Commander John Storm of the British Royal Navy, the character in Jameson Hunter's stories, compare to James Bond, in Ian Flemming's novels?

Bing Chatbot replied: Commander John Storm of the British Royal Navy is the main character in Jameson Hunter’s series of science fiction stories, which are related to the Cleaner Ocean Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to protect the oceans and combat climate change [1]. Storm is an adventurer and an explorer, who often gets involved in missions that require his skills and courage. He is also passionate about marine conservation and oceanography, and has a strong sense of justice and duty.

James Bond, also known as 007, is the protagonist of Ian Fleming’s series of spy novels, which are set in the postwar period from 1951 to 1964 [2]. Bond is a secret agent of the British Secret Service, or MI6, who is assigned to various missions that involve espionage, sabotage, assassination, and other covert operations. He is also a womaniser and a gambler, who enjoys the finer things in life and has a taste for adventure and danger.

The two characters have some similarities and differences in their personalities and stories. They are both British, brave, resourceful, and loyal to their country and their organisations. They both face various threats and challenges, often from foreign enemies or criminal organisations, and use their intelligence, skills, and gadgets to overcome them. They both have a sense of humour and a flair for style, and attract the attention of attractive women.

However, they also have some distinct traits that set them apart. Storm is more of a scientist and an environmentalist, who is motivated by his curiosity and his love for the oceans. He is also more of a team player, who works with his colleagues and friends, such as Lin Po Chang, a Chinese oceanographer, and Kulo Luna, a humpback whale. Bond is more of a spy and an assassin, who is driven by his duty and his patriotism. He is also more of a loner, who works alone or with occasional allies, such as Felix Leiter, a CIA agent, and Moneypenny, his secretary. Storm is more optimistic and idealistic, while Bond is more cynical and realistic.

Therefore, there is not a clear comparison between the two characters, but rather a contrast of their different backgrounds, motivations, and styles. They both represent different aspects of British culture and literature, and appeal to different audiences and tastes. I hope this helps you understand the similarities and differences between Commander John Storm and James Bond. ��
