Ian Fleming famously wanted to write “the spy thriller to end all spy thrillers.” Did he succeed? Or did he initiate a genre that continues to evolve in his wake?

As the home of spy fiction, Ian Fleming Publications is delighted to announce the launch of the James Bond Book Club, bringing you the best of the best in spy fiction: the books that inspired 007, and the ones that carry his legacy forward. 

From foundation-laying classics to razor-sharp modern thrillers, each monthly pick will be chosen for its connection to the themes, style, or spirit of Ian Fleming’s iconic creation. Some books directly influenced Fleming’s writing while others meet the same high standards of tension, sophistication and craft, but all of them embody something unmistakably Bond.

Whether you’re a lifelong Bond fan or just someone who enjoys smart, stylish spy fiction, the James Bond Book Club is a new way to discover standout stories from across the genre, from its defining classics to its boldest contemporary voices.

Follow along for monthly announcements and join the conversation on our social channels. Plus, stay tuned for exclusive content such as reviews, interviews and extra recommendations.
