The adventures of James Bond have thrilled readers since Ian Fleming s novel Casino Royale was published in 1953, and when the movie of Dr No was released in 1962, Bond quickly became the world s favourite secret agent. 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. 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 this book has all the answers and more.
