Jump to content Compared to later Bond novels and especially to the read films, Casino Royale is not gadget-centric. ✔ Early access to new rare book arrivals✔ Exclusive private sales and catalogues✔ Insights from a trusted rare book dealer With James Bond: First Light arriving this May, a new generation of gamers is about to meet a young Bond trying to earn his 00 status. And just like GoldenEye was an entry point for us, First Light will be an entry point for them. But the books still remain the true source of the character. What’s so interesting about the character we meet in the book version of Casino Royale starts with the core imagining of Bond himself, who’s a far more introspective, philosophical, and vulnerable character than the movies led me to believe. Bond is a man who contemplates existence in full view of the reader. He questions good and evil and where men like him fit in the never-ending battle between the two. He questions his own worth and frankly discusses it with a trusted associate. He expresses cynicism about what it means to be a double-O (as in 007). He considers retiring from spying and shows the capability for self-doubt.
