Au service secret de Sa Majesté
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was written in Jamaica at Fleming's Goldeneye estate in January and February 1962, whilst the first Bond film, "Dr. No", was being filmed nearby. The first draft of the novel was 196 pages long and called "The Belles of Hell". Fleming later changed the title after being told of a nineteenth-century sailing novel called "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", seen by Fleming's friend Nicholas Henderson in Portobello Road Market.
