Short essays discussing all things Bond--the girls, the
villians, even the best actor in the role...
The staying power of the world's most dashing secret agent
and the evolution of the James Bond franchise are explored
in this smart yet nostalgic collection of essays. Leading
writers, including Raymond Benson, J. A. Konrath, Raelynn
Hillhouse, and John Cox, discuss the 10 sexiest Bond girls,
the best villains, and the controversy surrounding the
latest actor to play James Bond. Topics covered range from
the playful--how to build a secret lair and avoid the
perennial mistakes made by would-be world dominators--to the
thought-provoking, such as Bond's place in the modern world,
his Oedipal tendencies and perceived misogyny, and the
unerring allure of the charming spy.
