This, the fifth Bond novel, was Fleming's last chance to rescue what was seen by his publishers as a series that had run its course. It is different to all of the previous novels in its structure and its level of intensity, and it set the tone for all the Bond novels that followed. It also lead, due its huge success and critical acclaim, to the creation of the Bond movie franchise.
