abstract:On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the tenth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published in the UK by Jonathan Cape on 1 April 1963. The initial and secondary print runs sold out, with over 60,000 books sold in the first month.
While sitting there, I could not help remembering that Fermor had once sternly corrected Fleming for a tiny factual error in his novel OnHer Majesty's SecretService.
When George Lazenby came on the scene in OnHer Majesty's SecretService in 1969, audiences could rely on elements such as a pre-credit sequence, high speed chase, a hulking henchman, Martinis and fags.
