Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though the James Bond movies have somewhat overshadowed the books they're based on, Ian Fleming's original 007 works are still very much beloved to this day. The first Bond novel was published way back in 1953, with Fleming penning 11 further novels and 2 short story collections in his lifetime.
Related Ian Fleming Nearly Saved The Silliest James Bond Movie James Bond author Ian Fleming came up with his own 007 script 23 years before a different adaptation became one of the franchise’s silliest entries. 12 Octopussy And The Living Daylights Struggles To Justify Its Existence Close Another of the writer's works that was released posthumously, Octopussy and The Living Daylights is the second of Fleming's two short story collections.
On one hand, You Only Live Twice is a sentimental and vividly written love letter to the country of Japan. On the other hand, however, it lacks the excitement, action, and thrills of a good 007 story. For the most part, You Only Live Twice adopts a travelogue-like style, exploring many aspects of Japanese culture in great detail. While this allows Fleming to show off all he knows about the country and its ways, it means that the story doesn't really kick in until late in the novel.
7 Live And Let Die A Decent Sophomore Outing Close Live and Let Die had the tough job of following Fleming's excellent debut, Casino Royale. Though it doesn't quite rise to the challenge, there are still plenty of things to like about the 1954 book. The plot sees Bond on the trail of Mr Big, a SMERSH agent and practitioner of voodoo. For this reason, Live and Let Die is one of Fleming's darker, grittier, and more violent works.
4 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service A Surprisingly Tender Affair Close On Her Majesty's Secret Service followed the disaster that was The Spy Who Loved Me and, therefore, marked a return to form for both Fleming and the James Bond series. Though it contains much of the action and thrills of Fleming's other works, On Her Majesty's Secret Service offers a gentler and more tender approach than the previous entries.
