Publication history

After Fleming's death, in 1964, Glidrose Productions Ltd planned a continuation series of James Bond books, to be written by a rotating series of authors, under the pseudonym "Robert Markham". In 1968, the first continuation novel published was Colonel Sun, by Kingsley Amis, afterwards the Robert Markham book series was cancelled. A few years later, Glidrose published James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007 by John Pearson and considered having Pearson write a continuation series of Bond novels, but no further books resulted. In 1977 and again in 1979, Glidrose authorized Christopher Wood to write novelisations of his scripts for the Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker since the filmed stories deviated drastically from the original Fleming novels of the same titles (indeed, Fleming had instructed Glidrose to only sell the movie rights to the title of The Spy Who Loved Me, rendering the film by necessity an original story). A pseudonym (Greek: false name) is a fictitious name used by an individual as an alternative to his or her legal name. ... 1978 reprint by Panther Books of the first and only James Bond novel by Robert Markham.

In 1981, the James Bond book series was revived, with new novels written by John Gardner. In 1996, John Gardner retired from writing Bond books, and Raymond Benson quickly replaced him. Benson is the first American to write James Bond novels, a fact that was initially controversial. It was during Benson's tenure that the company changed names from Glidrose Productions Ltd to Ian Fleming Publications; the publisher's new name appeared first in High Time to Kill, (1999). In turn, Benson retired from writing Bond books in 2002. Since then Ian Fleming Publications has started a new series of Bond books, however, this time based on a young teenage James Bond in the 1930s.
