Introduction to Fiction Writing

One of my favorite writers would have to be Ian Fleming, and his James Bond character, the novels are so politically intertwined with a mix of real world politics and fictional enemies.  That it makes for such an iteresting read with the philosophies that come up in the books such as, "
“You only live twice:
Once when you're born
And once when you look death in the face.”
From the novel, You Only Live Twice.
