James Bond

James Bond series centers on a fictitious British secret agent, established by Ian Fleming in 1953. The series features twelve books and two short stories.

Since Fleming's passing in 1965, eight other writers have produced official James Bond books or novelizations, including Kingsley Amis, John Gardner, Jeffery Deaver, Anthony Horowitz, and more. Anthony Horowitz's newest book, Forever and a Day, was released in May of 2018. In addition, Charlie Higson has also written a book about a younger James Bond, while Kate Westbrook has written three novels inspired by the diaries of Moneypenny - a regular secondary character in the series.

James Bond - often known as 007 (pronounced "double-O-seven"), has been adapted for comic strips, radio, television, video games, and movies. The movie series began in 1963 with Dr. No, featuring Sean Connery as James Bond, and has since earned over $7.04 billion, making it the fourth film series to date.

The Bond films are recognized for many high-quality attributes - notably their great soundtracks - which have won many Academy Award nominations and three ultimate victories. Bond's automobiles, firearms, and gadgets are some of his most famous assets, which inspires numerous similar weapons in other action flicks. Bond's romantic relationships with numerous women - who are often alluded to as "Bond girls" - are also prominent in both the novels and the movies.
