Raymond Benson turns 53 years old today and all of us at FelixLeiter.com would like to wish him a wonderful happy birthday!

Mr. Benson is a lifelong Bond fan and the official James Bond continuation author from 1997 to 2002. During his tenure, he penned six original James Bond novels (Zero Minus Ten, The Facts of Death, High Time to Kill, Doubleshot, Never Dream of Dying, The Man with the Red Tattoo), three movie novelizations (Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day), and three short stories (“Blast from the Past”, “Midsummer’s Nights Doom”, “Live At Five”).

Since his departure from the James Bond literary series, Raymond has published four successful original novels, two novels in Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series, and Metal Gear Solid, the first novelization based on the hit video game series of the same name.

In July, FLc had the chance to interview Mr. Benson. Check it out here.
