James Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me / James Bond And Moonraker No or Goldfinger would have needed far more in the way of technical expertise than I could supply," said Amis. This legend has now been more-or-less entirely dismissed though, and Amis’ Bond is quite different to Fleming’s. Bond producer Harry Saltzman vetoed the book for filming, but ripples from it reached the movies For Your Eyes Only, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.Īmis was for some time thought to have ghost-written The Man With The Golden Gun, which was published after Fleming’s death. The dastardly Colonel, employed by the equally dastardly Red Chinese, is plotting a major atrocity against Greece and the West, but also against Russia, leading to a first-time détente in which Bond gets a Russian female assistant.
Kingsley Amis' Colonel Sun was the first and only result of this plan in 1968 (a previous novel in 1967, Geoffrey Jenkins’ Per Fine Ounce, was rejected by Glidrose and never published), and sees Bond trailing a kidnapped M to the Aegean Islands. "Robert Markham" was intended by rights-holders Glidrose as a collective pseudonym under which different authors would take a turn at a Bond novel, post-Fleming.
