The James Bond Books

The days the films have eclipsed the James Bond books in terms of popularity and it is easy to forget that it all began with Ian Fleming.

 

Fleming used the experience he gained in Naval Intelligence during the Second World War and his flair with words, honed as a newspaperman, to great effect when he sat down at his winter hideaway in Jamaica started to write a spy novel. The first James Bond book was “Casino Royale” and its success in the United Kingdom paved the way for further adventures featuring James Bond.

 

Having gained success with this first book, Ian Fleming sat down and produced, without fail, a new James Bond book each year until he died at the early age of 56 from a heart attack brought on by heavy smoking and drinking.

 

Most of the James Bond books are straightforward adventure novels, but he did vary from the formula on a couple of occasions. The first was with “For Your Eyes Only”, which included five short stories. Although three of them encapsulate an entire James Bond adventure in a few pages, two of the stories are quite different in nature and readers at the time, used to a new full-length novel each year, voiced their disapproval. However, it did allow Fleming to stretch his imagination slightly to see what else he was capable of producing.

 

After “For Your Eyes Only”, Fleming tried another experiment, this time with “The Spy Who Loved Me”. Rather than a traditional James Bond adventure, it was told from the point of view of the Bond girl and James Bond hardly appeared at all.

 

Although it proved to be unsatisfactory to readers of the time, it does at least provide something rather different from the pen of Ian Fleming and he returned to full-length novels – only after his death was “Octopussy & The Living Daylights” published, another volume of short stories. “The Living Daylights” is particularly effective as a James Bond adventure, and works extremely well.
