John Edmund Gardner (20 November 1926 – 3 August 2007) was an English writer of spy and thriller novels. He is best known for his James Bond continuation novels, but also wrote a series of Boysie Oakes books and three novels containing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional villain, Professor Moriarty.

Ian Fleming's fourteen book cycle was just the beginning for Commander Bond.
From the 1960s to 2025 and beyond, continuation authors have taken that literary Bond baton forwards and brought 007 to new readers, new timelines, new adventures and new bookshelves.
From author Mark Edlitz comes KEEPING 007 ALIVE - CONVERSATIONS WITH JAMES BOND CONTINUATION AUTHORS.
It is a unique collection of interviews with some of those Bond authors - offering new and detailed insight into the creative minds who have taken up the spy mantle.
Authors Anthony Horowitz, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Wiliam Boyd, Jeffery Deaver, Samantha Weinberg, Steve Cole, Kim Sherwood, and Charlie Higson have all gathered to lend Edlitz their thoughts, processes and impulses.
They discuss how they were chosen for the esteemed appointment, what makes them uniquely qualified, what are the creative challenges and triumphs of inheriting such a beloved character, how they updated Bond alongside Fleming's particular legacy, and what ingredients they bought to the literary Bond canon.
