This week on SpyCast, Andrew was joined by Mark Edlitz, author of the new book James Bond After Fleming: The Continuation Novels. The world of James Bond has been widely studied by scholars across academic fields – from intelligence journals to pop culture magazines, 007 has held a consistent presence since his inception in the 1960s. Ambitiously, this week’s guest set out to say something new about the Bond franchise and landed on the little-discussed yet absolutely fascinating story of the James Bond continuation novels.

Ian Fleming’s classic original novels and collections of short stories only account for 14 of the now over 60 Bond books, so what happened to James Bond after his original creator died in 1964, and how did new authors pick up Fleming’s torch and carry Bond through the 21st century? Tune in to find out.

And…

If you’re like Mark and have seen most (if not all) of the Bond movies and have read your fair share of 007 books, you'll want to take a visit to the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. to see our brand-new exhibit, Bond in Motion. Featuring 17 vehicles from the franchise, this exhibit will take you right behind the wheel of some of the most iconic pieces from the world of Bond. You don’t want to miss it!
