On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the tenth novel and eleventh book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. First published in 1963, the novel centres on Bond's search to find Ernst Stavro Blofeld after the events depicted in Thunderball (1961). Bond falls in love with Tracy di Vicenzo during the story. The pair marry, but hours afterwards, Blofeld and his partner, Irma Bunt, attack them, killing Tracy. Fleming developed Bond's character within the book, showing an emotional side that was not previously present. The novel is one of three Bond stories to deal with the disruption of markets and the economy, in this case Blofeld's planned disruption to the food supply by bioterrorism. The novel received broadly positive reviews. In 1969 it was adapted as the sixth film in the Eon Productions James Bond film series and was the only film to star George Lazenby as Bond.

Down to 968 characters. That should do, but no doubt dying's eagle eye will bring some comments and queries! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 07:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
