70 YEARS OF 007
Meet James Bond, the world's most famous spy, in these landmark 70th anniversary reissues of Ian Fleming's classic series.
The last collection of James Bond adventures from Ian Fleming, Octopussy and The Living Daylights features four tales of intrigue that push 007 to the limit and find the secret agent questioning where he can go from there...
In 'Octopussy', a former operative in the Second World War must face the consequences of past sins when James Bond knocks on the door of his Caribbean fortress, and in 'The Property of a Lady' Bond deciphers the elaborate codes of a Sotheby's bidding war in order to catch a KGB agent. '007 in New York' takes Bond to the titular city to warn an ex-agent of her boyfriend's secret KGB affiliation. And 'The Living Daylights' sends Bond to Berlin to protect a British agent before an assassin strikes.
Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London on 28 May 1908. On the outbreak of the Second World War he played a key part in British and Allied espionage operations.
His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and introduced James Bond, Special Agent 007, to the world. The first print run sold out within a month. Following this initial success, he published a Bond title every year until his death. The Bond novels have sold more than 100 million copies and inspired a hugely successful film franchise which began in 1962 with the release of Dr No, starring Sean Connery as 007.
