James Bond, code name 007, is a fictional character created
in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short
story collections. Six other authors have written authorised Bond novels or
novelizations since Fleming's death in 1964: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood,
John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, and Jeffery Deaver; a new
novel, written by William Boyd, is planned for release in 2013. Additionally,
Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote
three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny.
The fictional British Secret Service agent has also been
adapted for television, radio, comic strip, and video game formats in addition
to having been used in the longest continually running and the second-highest
grossing film franchise to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring
Sean Connery as Bond.
The Bond films are renowned for a number of features,
including the musical accompaniment, with the theme songs having received
Academy Award nominations on several occasions. Other important elements which
run through most of the films include Bond's cars, his guns, and the gadgets he
is supplied with by Q Branch.
