“Dr. No” by Ian Fleming. Pan Books X237 (1963). British paperback. Movie tie-in. Photo cover with Sean Connery as James Bond and Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder.

From the back cover:

 

Kill or cure – for JAMES BOND

 

James Bond is on a routine little assignment in Jamaica, a holiday and convalescence. The sun shines, the palm trees wave, the calypsos throb.

 

But on the horizon lies Crab Key, an island fortress. It is the residence of DR. NO whose prescription for Bond is one long, calculated dose of torture . . . and death.

 

This, the sixth of IAN FLEMING’s Secret Service thrillers, will – as did the others – grip the reader with a taut, suave, sensual stranglehold.

 

“Wildly thrilling, packed with convincing detail, streaked with sadism.” – BBC

 

Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No and Sean Connery as Bond in the Eon production. The film, for United Artists release, also stars Ursula Andress as Honey, Bernard Lee as “M” and Jack Lord.

 

[Note: The actor Jack Lord may be seen on the cover holding a gun on James Bond. Jack Lord would later star as a good guy for twelve seasons, as Detective Steve McGarrett on the TV series "Hawaii Five-0."]
