Reviews

Ian Kinane, author of Ian Fleming and the Politics of Ambivalence and general editor of the International Journal of James Bond Studies:
James Bond Will Return takes a chronological, anthological approach to the study of the cinematic Bond, enabling a totalizing view of the so-called ‘Bond experience.’ This is the most expansive and well-organized coverage of the Bond cinematic universe to date, representing film and cultural history par excellence.

Robert G. Weiner, coeditor of James Bond in World and Popular Culture:
Featuring established Bond scholars and new voices, this collection offers new and exciting perspectives on the film franchise. While each of the Bond films are a product of the time they were made, these essays tell us that the series has relevance to the world we live in today. Well written and fun to read, James Bond Will Return will excite even the most seasoned Bond scholar and fan.

Christoph Lindner, editor of The James Bond Phenomenon, Revisioning 007, and Resisting James Bond:
With a stellar lineup of authors offering sharp, original analysis of every James Bond film to date, this book delivers a fascinating retrospective of the 007 franchise at a critical moment in the extended life of the series.
