"The Adventures of James Bond Junior-003 1/2" is a children's book featuring
a title character who is the son of Bond's brother David, (not a creation of
Fleming) who intercedes against a heist of gold bullion. Glidrose licensed
it. The author's true identity was kept secret for 34 years, but was
confirmed by his executors to be British literary author Arthur
Calder-Marshall (1908-1992).

Pearson's book is a work of fiction portraying the life of a "real" James
Bond in correlation to Fleming's adventures.

Wood co-wrote the screenplay for "The Spy Who Loved Me" with Richard Maibaum
and got full credit for "Moonraker", and then novelized those scripts.
