List of James Bond novels and short stories

James Bond is a literary series of novels and short stories, first published in 1953 by the British author Ian Fleming. The protagonist of the series, James Bond, is a British Secret Service agent, often referred to by his code name 007. The character first appeared in the 1953 novel Casino Royale; the books are set in a contemporary period during Fleming's lifetime from 1951 to 1964. Fleming wrote twelve novels and two collections of short stories in the series, all at his Jamaican home Goldeneye and published annually. Two of the books were published after Fleming's death in 1964. Since Fleming's death, other authors have written continuation works. Some of these have been novelisations of episodes in the series of James Bond films, produced by Eon Productions, while others were either continuation novels or short stories. The first author was Kingsley Amis, writing under the pseudonym of Robert Markham, who produced one novel. He was followed by novelist and biographer John Pearson, who wrote a fictional biography of Bond. The novelist and screenwriter Christopher Wood wrote two novelisations in the late 1970s. John Gardner was asked to continue the series by Ian Fleming Publications, the copyright holders to the franchise; he wrote fourteen novels and two novelisations between 1981 and 1996. After Gardner retired due to ill health, the author Raymond Benson continued the stories and wrote six Bond novels, three novelisations and three short stories between 1996 and 2002. In 2025, Benson returned to write The Hook and the Eye, which is focused around the Bond character Felix Leiter. There was a hiatus of six years before Sebastian Faulks was commissioned to write a further Bond novel, which was released on 28 May 2008, the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming's birth. This was followed in 2011 by a novel by the author Jeffery Deaver and a 2013 book by William Boyd. A further instalment was published in September 2015 by Anthony Horowitz, with a second Horowitz novel published in May 2018. A third Horowitz novel was released on 26 May 2022. There have also been two spin-off book series, sanctioned by Fleming's estate: Young Bond, based around Bond's adventures while a schoolboy at Eton College; and The Moneypenny Diaries, a series of books and short stories focusing on the supporting character Miss Moneypenny. A third series, focusing on the Double-0 section is being written by Kim Sherwood. Various spin-offs are being written.
