The Book

Pierce Brosnan was born only thirty-three days after the first introduction of James Bond took place with the publication of Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. This is only one of the many connections the Irish star, activist, producer and painter has with the legendary British secret agent. After missing the chance in 1986 for contractual issues, Brosnan was introduced to the world press as the fifth actor to play agent 007 in GoldenEye, the film that would not only guarantee the survival of the character in a time everyone thought he was a spent force, but would mark the beginning of an era that pitted Bond against the remnants of the Cold War and the new threats caused by the world-changing events of 9/11, right at the beginning of the 21st century.

This book offers an in-depth look to the era that took the franchise to new heights from the 1990s to the first years of the new millennium, remarking the importance that Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond has had to guarantee the continued success of 007 into the 21st century.
