      British writer

born Nov. 20, 1926 , Seaton Delaval, Northumberland, Eng.

was the author of more than 50 thrillers but was best known for his 16 books that continued Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Gardner's first published book, Spin the Bottle (1963), was a memoir. The following year he published his first novel, a spy parody, The Liquidator (filmed 1965). It was followed by several sequels. After a prolonged search by Fleming's literary estate, Gardner was chosen in 1981 to update Fleming's literary creation. Gardner's James Bond novels, which were best sellers, began with Licence Renewed (1981) and included Nobody Lives Forever (1986) and The Man from Barbarossa (1991). Gardner also revived the character of Professor Moriarty from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series for three novels.
