Summary

The adventures of James Bond have thrilled readers since Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale was published in 1953. Science and technology have always been central to the plots that make up the world of Bond, and in Superspy Science Kathryn Harkup explores the full range of 007's exploits and the arms, technologies, tactics and downfalls of his various foes. Could those well-known Bond villains actually achieve world domination? Were the huge variety of weapons and technology in Bond's arsenal ever developed in real life? And would 007 actually escape all of those close shaves intact? From the practicalities of building a volcano-based lair to whether being covered in gold paint really will kill you, and, if your plan is to take over the world, whether it is better to use bacteria, bombs, or poison - Superspy Science has all the answers and more
