Colonel Sun

by Kingsley Amis alias Robert Markham. Harper & Row, $5.95. James Bond survives his creator, a trick previously confined to heroes of Homer and the comic strips. Mr. Amis, a devotee of the Bond cult, has assumed the mantle of the prophet, and his first utterance will presumably satisfy the faithful, being, on the word of an old Bond hater, just as unendurable as genuine Fleming, and for the same reasons.
