Ian Fleming also attempted to kill off James Bond.After he is poisoned by Rosa Klebb at the end of 'From Russia With Love' that was meant to be the end.
After five novels, Fleming decided that he had had enough of his 'hero'. But pressure from the fans and the publishers, brought Bond back in 'Dr No' and the
sunsequent eight books. Like Holmes, many Bond fans consider he was 'never quite as good' after his return!
