THIS VOLUME INCLUDES OVERVIEWS OF IAN FLEMING'S LAST SEVEN 007 NOVELS INCLUDING FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, THUNDERBALL, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS PLUS THEIR CORRESPONDING FILM ADAPTATIONS

Since his debut on the paperback rack in 1953, Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 has become a staple of pop culture. However, fans of the films far outnumber readers of Fleming's original novels, which is a shame. If you've ever wondered how closely the films followed the books they are based on, this is the tome for you as it charts the writing process of the novels and the screenplays. In the final 007 stories, you'll see Bond stalk Blofeld through his Garden of Death, get amnesia, try to assassinate M, and shoot it out with Scaramanga in the swamps of Jamaica with Felix Leiter. In discarded screenplays, you'll see 007 join the USO to find stolen atomic bombs, face off with rival agent 009, dismantle a radical SPECTRE upstart hellbent on nothing but anarchy, and thwart Max Zorin's scheme to destroy Silicon Valley via Halley's Comet. Lastly, in addition to EON's classic Ian Fleming adaptations, this book also charts the complicated co-production of Thunderball (1965) and Sean Connery's return to the role of James Bond for Never Say Never Again (1983).
