About this ebook
James Bond has graced our bookshelves and screens for over sixty years. The martini-drinking, super-smooth character has become an icon and international treasure.
Like most of the millions of James Bond fans around the world, John Pearson assumed that the world's most famous spy was no more than a figment of Ian Fleming's highly charged imagination. Then he began to have his doubts. He finally became convinced that James Bond was not only real but alive and well in Bermuda.
Thanks to a change in policy within the secret service, Pearson was invited to embark upon a companion volume to his biography of Fleming. With candour, Bond began to recount the story of his life to Pearson, revealing the most amazing adventures only hinted at in Fleming's novels, and showing a side of himself never seen before. This resulting book must be one of the most extraordinary works of our times - the authorised life of a myth, the official biography of James Bond.
