The advent of the printing press led to inexpensive books becoming readily available. Authors of various genres carved lucrative niches for themselves. Romance, mystery and spy thrillers are possibly the big three types and the most read. Regardless of where people live or their culture there is a definite leaning towards best spy thrillers. The authors of these novels come from all walks of life, levels of education and backgrounds. Some were even involved in the world of spying and espionage at some time in their life.
The film industry has played a big role in boosting and promoting interest in spies and suspense. Many world bestselling books have forever been commemorated through block buster movie renditions. In some instances playing a leading role in one of these movies has been the making of an actor. In the case of Sean Connery it took him a long time to shake off the 007 type casting.
Spy novels have experienced popularity for more than a century. Baroness Orczy the author of Scarlet Pimpernel written in 1903 was possible the first to popularize this genre. Since then this fiction has been widely read and there are numerous novels published annually to cater to this demand. The followers of suspenseful spying stories are too many to determine and can be found in every country in the world.
But the trend setter and in a class of his own must surely be Bond, James Bond. The death of the creator of this suave menacing spy of note did little to prevent other famous authors being commissioned to write further stories involving Ian Fleming's 007. Bond continues to enthrall even more than 50 years after the first book and movie Dr No.
Although a book may not necessarily make a block buster movie 007, Le Carre's George Smiley and Ludlum's Bourne series have made it in both film and written word. The Thirty-Nine Steps published in 1915 is often seen as the scene setter for later books in this genre. Each and everyone a good story and plot.
Added to these must be the names of authors of the caliber of Ira Levin, Forsythe, Follett, Len Deighton and Graham Greene. Although there are some excellent suspense movies that are not gleaned from books many scriptwriters have taken their inspiration from these written works. Classics such as Ipcress File, Charade, Three Days of the Condor and North By Northwest continue to thrill audience decades after they were first screened.
Both genders young and old avidly read suspense novels. Existing authors and amateurs wanting to get a foot in the door write in this vein. Some stories are based on true events and seem almost too far-fetched to be true. This proves that in many instances real life stories are often stranger than fiction.
But the best spy thrillers most often listed in surveys remain that of James Bond and Jason Bourne. Interesting to note that they both have initials JB. Coincidence or is there a possible suspense tale in that. As each generation become readers of suspense fiction suspense they draw new followers. Judging by the wealth of choice available this style of writing and movie is alive and well.
