He himself remarked, I have never written two books on the same subject or with the same object. In the 1960s, he took on commissioned work which included novelizations of movies such as the Dirk Bogarde film Victim and a children's novel about British spy James Bond's nephew, The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003½. Calder-Marshall also prepared the definite Bodley Head edition of Jack London's works, Lone Wolf, during this same time).
