Trigger Mortis Trigger Mortis Trigger Mortis is a 2015 James Bond novel written by Anthony Horowitz, and commissioned by the estate of Bond's creator Ian Fleming, which was published on 8 September 2015. The book is set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Space Race, and begins two weeks after the events of "Goldfinger". The novel is the third in the current-era literary series to be set during the original timeline created by Fleming since 1968's "Colonel Sun" (following "Devil May Care" by Sebastian Faulks and "Solo" by William Boyd) and sees the return of Bond girl Pussy Galore, who made
The James Bond Dossier of Bond's correct designation: 'It's inaccurate, of course, to describe James Bond as a "spy", in the strict sense of one who steals or buys or smuggles the secrets of foreign powers ... Bond's claims to be considered a "counter-spy", one who operates against the agents of unfriendly powers, are rather more substantial'. Although, as noted elsewhere, Amis wrote three books related to the James Bond franchise, and may or may not have contributed to one of Fleming's novels, "The James Bond Dossier" would end up being the only book of this type to be published under Amis's own name.
