| | Bond Code - The Dark World of Ian Fleming and James Bond | |
Description
"The Bond Code" is the remarkable story of how Fleming's association with the occult world led him to create a masterful series of clever clues, ciphers and codes within his books. Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond piece by piece from the novels and films used to create his aura of mystique. This book introduces not just new material, but radically reappraises everything we thought we knew about James Bond - and his creator. Gardiner reveals a plethora of fascinating clues that have been hiding in plain sight. For example, Bond's famous 007 designation - a sacred numerological code - was the way Dr. John Dee, an infamous 16th century magician, occultist and spy, signed his letters. And Queen Elizabeth I signed her replies to Dee as "M"! Dee was thrown out of his university for claiming to create a flying machine.Unknown to many, it was Ian Fleming who wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", featuring, of course, a flying car. Was it a coincidence that Fleming was reading a biography of Dee while he was writing "Casino Royale", the first Bond novel?
