James Bond (or 007) is a fictional British MI6 secret agent created by writer Ian Fleming. Beginning in 1952, Fleming wrote 12 James Bond novels and two collections of short stories until his death in 1964. Subsequent James Bond novels have been written by many writers, including Kingsley Amis.

James Bond is best known from the feature-length movies. "Dr. No" (1962) was the first of the James Bond film series produced by EON Productions, and an adaptation of Ian Fleming's sixth James Bond novel. James Bond films have always been somewhat epic in scope, featuring exotic locations, fast cars, beautiful women and elaborate stunts. Although Bond has faced many adversaries, during the Cold War many of his opponents were from Soviet Russia. The most recent Bond film was Spectre (2015).

Not content with revolutionising the world of film and books, the rights holders handed the video game rights over to Nintendo in 1995, which put first person shooters on the map. [1]

The current James Bond is Daniel Craig, who has taken the role back towards the more rugged character that Connery and Dalton brought to the screen, as opposed to the portrayal by Pierce Brosnan and the Roger Moore. Many media outlets have speculated over the tenure of the role. The character of the books never quite made it to the screen, and became progressively more cartoonesque.

The books have been met with bafflement and bemusement by critics, but book readers have eaten each successive installment up, so what do they know.
