Wow! As luck would have it, I just read this one, my introduction to the series. I'll be noting my thoughts in a review next month, but I quite appreciate this one. Like you, I noted the excellent local character, the lack of chauvinism, and also (for 1967) a lack of sexism. After all, Tanya starts right out as resourceful and strong.

Much better than Bond. :)
