James Bond is part of the code name. When one dies or gets too old, an agent is promoted to 007, and gains the codename 'James Bond'. It's how we've had so many previous James Bonds who have looked different, and survived so many years.
The villain in the next one can say "Thought you were dead".

If you are thinking of gifts for Xmas this year, my book about tabletop games, The Game Changers (UK, other territories) / Across the Board (US, Canada), is out in paperback, audiobook & ebook. I think it is good for anyone who loves boardgames old or new, or who likes stuff on culture & history.

It's the first book in a YA suburban fantasy series with hints of Bradbury, Charles Addams, Amelié, Doctor Who, and Tim Burton, and I'm fiercely proud of it!
