Vaguely related: I discovered a couple of years back, that Michael Moorcock wrote a series of knockabout spy novels starring a thinly disguised Jerry Cornelius (thanks, internet piracy!).
Not sure if they’re still in print (see above, yarrrrr), but they’re in a similar vein to this.
I don’t know about that, it does seem like almost all the movies in the Mission: Impossible franchise are based on Tom Cruise having to stop some threat created by a rogue/evil agent or administrator from his own organization. Ditto Jason Bourne and at least half a dozen of the Bond movies.
