I think it reflects the fact that James Bond has become one of the most famous fictional characters in the world, even though I expect lots of teenagers to go to the pictures don't remember that there were books. But I think it's a great tribute to Ian Fleming on the centenary of his birthday that he can generate helicopters in the sky, a Royal Navy destroyer and all these hundreds so fascinated by his character.\"\u003cbr/\u003e25. Wide of River Thames with HMS Exeter moored alongside HMS Belfast \u003cbr/\u003eA catsuited model in stiletto heels was the star on Tuesday of the year's most-hyped literary event - the publication of a new adventure for super-spy James Bond.\u003cbr/\u003eThe larger-than-life launch of the novel \"Devil May Care\" proved that 100 years after the birth of 007 creator Ian Fleming, the Bond brand is stronger than ever.\u003cbr/\u003eWritten by Sebastian Faulks, the novel is published today (28MAY08)  to mark Fleming's 100th birthday.\u003cbr/\u003eA large crowd of journalists and onlookers gathered to watch model Tuuli Shipster, whose silhouette adorns the cover of the book's British edition, bring the first published copies up the River Thames in a military speedboat before unpacking them aboard HMS Exeter, a destroyer moored near Tower Bridge.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I can remember Uncle Ian's books being delivered wrapped in brown paper and string by a postman on a bicycle,\" said Ian Fleming's niece Lucy Williams as she stood on the destroyer's gunmetal-grey deck. \"The Royal Navy has upped the ante a bit today.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBritain's military appeared happy to play up its ties to the fictional spy, who held the rank of Royal Navy commander before going to work for MI6. \u003cbr/\u003eThe navy loaned the Exeter and its 250-strong crew for the elaborate photo opportunity.\u003cbr/\u003eFleming conceived James Bond from his Naval Intelligence career, and conceived the character in Jamaica.\u003cbr/\u003eBut they were actually based on his own experiences, during a very tense time in world relations.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He gave cold war Britain a sense of pride, and a sense of certainty, a sense of worth in a very troubled world,'' said Fleming, ''a world which Ian led us into, into the alluring world of high glamour and high stakes, a world which Ian knew himself in person,\" she added.\u003cbr/\u003eThe choice of Faulks - a respected literary novelist whose books include the World War I novel \"Birdsong\" and the French Resistance saga \"Charlotte Gray\" - has brought the book serious literary attention, while the promise of sex, spying and exotic locales should help it become a best-seller. \u003cbr/\u003eThe hardcover print run in Britain and the United States is reported to be 400-thousand copies.\u003cbr/\u003eFleming, a journalist and wartime intelligence officer, wrote 14 James Bond books before his death in 1964. \u003cbr/\u003eHis last novel, Octopussy, was published after he died in 1966.\u003cbr/\u003eOther writers, including Kingsley Amis and John Gardner, continued the series into the 21st century, with mixed results. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Faulks' licence to thrill, which coincides with actor Daniel Craig's reinvigoration of the Bond film franchise, has generated a renewed sense of excitement around the character.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Fleming family certainly seem pleased with the result, with Fleming's niece Lucy telling AP that Faulks had done \"a fantastic job \".\u003cbr/\u003eFaulkes himself said he thought it was ''terrific.''\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's a great tribute to Ian Fleming on the centenary of his birthday that he can generate helicopters in the sky, a Royal Navy destroyer and all these hundreds so fascinated by his character,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eThe book's publishers - Penguin in Britain, Doubleday in the United States - are keeping its contents under wraps until it hits stores. \u003cbr/\u003eHardcore 007 aficionados were optimistic the result would be classic Bond.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is a big year for Bond. In addition to the Fleming centenary, the latest 007 movie, \"Quantum of Solace,\" is due for release in the autumn.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
