 "The Man With The Golden Gun" was the thirteenth and final complete  James Bond novel written by Ian Fleming (I) (qv). It was the first  and only one of his full James Bond novels to be published  posthumously. Some sources claim that it was unfinished at the time  of his death whereas other experts such as Andrew Lycett (qv) and  John Cork (qv) maintain that Fleming had completed it before he  died. It is of controversial debate as to whether Fleming wrote the  novel completely himself or whether other(s) were involved.
