The Spy Who Loved Me is the ninth novel and tenth book in the James Bond series by Ian Fleming, first published in 1962. It is also the title of the tenth James Bond film and the third to star Roger Moore as Commander James Bond, British Secret Service agent 007. The Spy Who Loved Me was made by Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions and was released in 1977. Fleming was never happy with the plot of the book and so only gave permission for the title to be used for any future film adaptation. Conse
