After James Leasor declined an offer to write the first continuation novel the copyright holders commissioned </div> <bR> <div> Kingsley Amis. Using the Robert Markham pseudonym, Amis published only <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Cordia New" ><B>1</B></FONT> Bond novel, 1968's Colonel Sun.  </div> <div> In the 1980s, the series was finally revived with new novels by John Gardner. Between 1981 and 1996, he wrote <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Cordia New" ><B>14</B></FONT> James Bond novels and two screenplay novelisations, surpassing Fleming's original output. The biggest change in Gardner's series was updating 007's world to the 1980s; however, it would keep the characters the same age as they were in Fleming's novels. Generally Gardner's series is considered a success although their canonical status is disputed.</div> <bR> <div> In 1996, Gardner retired from writing James Bond books due to ill health and American Raymond Benson quickly replaced him. As a James Bond novelist, Benson was initially controversial for being American, and for ignoring much of the continuity established by Gardner. Benson wrote <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Cordia New" ><B>6</B></FONT> James Bond novels, three novelisations, and three short stories.</div> <bR> <div> Ian Fleming Publications announced that a new James Bond novel would be published in May 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ian Fleming's birth. Initially, IFP kept the identity of the author secret, but in July 2007 it was announced that the centenary novel would be Devil May Care bySebastian Faulks. It was published on 28 May 2008, on what would have been Ian Fleming's 100th birthday.
