James Bond (literary character) Deaver included a number of elements from the Fleming novels, including Bond's tastes for food and wine, his gadgets and "the rather preposterous names of some of the female characters." In 2013 the William Boyd-written continuation novel "Solo" was released; it ignored Deaver's new timeframe and was set in 1969. In October 2014 it was announced that Anthony Horowitz was to write a further Bond book. The book is due to be set in the 1950s, and it contains material written, but previously unreleased, by Fleming. In 2005 author and comedian Charlie Higson released "SilverFin", the first of five novels
The Book of Bond edition of this book was published with a false slipcover printed with the title "The Bible to be Read as Literature". In one of the early Bond novels, Bond carries his gun in a hollowed out book of this title. Amis, a close friend of Fleming's, was also responsible for two other works related to the James Bond series. In 1965, he wrote "The James Bond Dossier", a collection of essays on the book and film series, and in 1968, under the pseudonym Robert Markham, he wrote the Bond novel "Colonel Sun".
