Bond. James Bond. The most iconic secret agent in fiction, code name 007, got his start when Ian Fleming wrote his first novel, "Casino Royale," in 1952. Fleming was so taken with his debonair British spy that he wrote 11 more novels and two short-story collections about the guy before his death in 1964. While 007 has appeared in television and radio programs and comic strips, he really took hold of the public's imagination in 1962, when Sean Connery played the suave, sexy intelligence officer, who liked his martinis, "shaken, not stirred," in the film "Dr. No." This production kicked-off the longest-running franchise in movie history; the official James Bond production company, Eon, will have 23 movies in its canon by the end of 2012, including "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger." Six actors have played Bond in the Eon series, including Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. There have also been two non-Eon James Bond films, the 1967 spoof, "Casino Royale," and 1984's "Never Say Never Again," a remake of "Thunderball." How do you squeeze 25 movies out of 14 books? Well, clearly, you write more books. After Fleming's death, six others have been sanctioned to write official James Bond novels or novelizations of movies: Kingsley Amis (as "Robert Markham"), Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, and Jeffrey Deaver. Novels have also been written about a young James Bond (Charlie Higson) and about the character Miss Moneypenny (Kate Westbrook). Besides Bond's lady's-man demeanor and his talent for navigating life-threatening dilemmas, a large part of his appeal lies with his toys. James Bond drove top-of-the-line cars like Bentleys, BMWs, and, of course, Aston Martins; carried high-quality guns like Beretta 418s and Walther PPKs; and was equipped with the latest high-tech gadgets from Q Branch. These gizmos included a booby-trapped attaché case, an autogyro, and a jet...
