When
Ian Fleming passed away in 1964, James Bond didn't die with him.
In 1968, British novelist Kingsley Amis, under the pseudonym "Robert
Markham," released the next Bond novel, Colonel Sun.
After
more than a decade of rest (from print), John Gardner revived
the Bond character with his 1981 book, License Renewed.
He continued writing Bond stories until 1996, when Raymond Benson
assumed the helm with Blast from the Past, a short story
published in Playboy Magazine.
In
all, more than 35 Bond books and several short stories have been
published, and there is no end in sight for 007.
Most
of the Bond books are out of print, but the following links will
take you to their Amazon.com pages, where you may be able to find
the in thier used book network.
