Since the death of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, other writers have written novels featuring MI6's top secret agent. They were authorized, of course, by the Fleming estate.
A new James Bond novel hits London bookstores tomorrow.
According to The Mainichi:
LONDON (AP) -- William Boyd has left James Bond stirred, if not shaken.
The British writer has taken on the fictional spy in "Solo," a new 007 novel that balances fidelity to Ian Fleming's iconic character with subtle changes.
Bond fans will find much they recognize, along with some surprises -- one of which is that in Boyd's mind, James Bond looks like Daniel Day-Lewis.
Boyd says Fleming once described the spy as "looking like the American singer-songwriter Hoagy Carmichael. Daniel Day-Lewis looks like Hoagy Carmichael."
"Solo" is set in 1969, and takes the suave British spy from London's plush Dorchester Hotel to a war-ravaged West African country and on to Washington on a perilous lone mission.
Boyd steers Bond away from his big-screen action-hero image and back toward the complex and conflicted character of Fleming's novels.To read the full article, go here.
