James Bond : the secret world of 007

From its foreword, written by M16's very own chief, M, James Bond: the Secret World of 007 takes readers on a thrill-packed journey through the life and career of the world's most famous secret agent. Every major mission Bond has ever undertaken in the interests of world security, from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, is investigated and explained. Spectacular illustrations and photographs reveal, for the first time, the hidden workings of Bond's incredible vehicles and gadgets, the labyrinthine lairs, and masterplans of villains such as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Elliot Carver, and Auric Goldfinger, and some of 007's most spectacular chases and battles. The book also explores Bond's lovelife, and his relationships with other key members of M16, such as M, Q, and Miss Moneypenny. In addition, a reference section gives details of the world famous movies based upon his amazing assignments. Officially endorsed by Eon Productions, creators of the Bond movies, this in-depth approach to Bond's career will bring 007 to life for fans of all ages.

Reseña de Horn Book

Busy double-page spreads contain captioned color photographs and film stills identifying Bond's friends, foes, and complicated gadgetry, while Stewart's illustrations feature detailed representations of the movies' locations and vehicles. Only Pierce Brosnan's Bond is pictured, but a detailed filmography at the end of the book makes it clear that he's only the latest in a long string of actors to play 007. Ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
