In het verhaal Casino Royale wordt James Bond voor het eerst aan de wereld voorgesteld. Hij krijgt de opdracht om een Russische agent te elimineren, eerst door hem in een partij baccarat financieel te ruïneren en vervolgens te dwingen met pensioen te gaan. Het geluk staat aan James' zijde en zijn tegenstander verliest de ene na de andere ronde, maar Bond raakt verstrikt in een passie voor een mooie agente. In Leef en laat sterven leidt James een zoektocht naar de schat van kapitein Morgan naar het Caribisch gebied, waar hij het opneemt tegen Mr. Big, een Sovjetagent die de duistere praktijken van voodoo beheerst. In de afsluitende episode Moonraker is Bonds tegenstander Hugo Drax, een excentrieke multimiljonair met een naziverleden.

Maar het vangen van de meest dodelijke agent van de Britse geheime dienst vereist een lokmiddel dat zelfs hij niet kan weerstaan. Tatiana Romanova, een betoverende Russische spionne, is de sleutel tot hun plan; haar "desertie" is een val die met klokwerkprecisie is ontworpen. Haar missie: Bond verleiden en vervolgens naar het Westen vluchten met de Oriënt Express.

Vol actie en intrige is "From Russia with Love" een van de meest geliefde boeken in de Bond-canon.
