Editing Kim (novel) (section)

==Homages to and works inspired by ''Kim''==
* The first part of [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s 1957 novel ''[[Citizen of the Galaxy]]'' depicts a clever boy of mysterious parentage living in a feudal planet and guided by an interstellar spy. Peopled with fakirs, street vendors and wealthy elites, the beginning of the novel parallels ''Kim'' in many ways.
*[[Paul Scott (novelist)|Paul Scott]]'s four-novel sequence ''[[The Raj Quartet]]'' (1966–1975) contains a subplot which mirrors ''Kim'': an Indian boy is sent to England by his wealthy father to be raised in such a manner that when he returns, Englishmen will not be able to tell that he is Indian.
* [[Poul Anderson]]'s 1985 ''Game of Empire'', the last of his [[Dominic Flandry]] series, is loosely modeled on ''Kim''. Like others in the series, the novel takes place in a future [[galactic empire]] setting.
* [[Timeri N. Murari]]'s ''The Imperial Agent'' (1988) and ''The Last Victory'' (1989) are sequels to ''Kim''.
* [[Tim Powers]]' 2001 novel ''[[Declare]]'' uses ''Kim'' for inspiration and epigraphs.
* In [[Laurie R. King]]'s 2004 novel ''[[The Game (King novel)|The Game]]'' (book 7 of the [[Mary Russell (character)|Mary Russell]] series), the protagonist and her husband, [[Sherlock Holmes]], travel to India in search of Kimball O'Hara, who Holmes has encountered after the events of "[[The Final Problem]]".
* [[Steven Gould]]'s 2011 novel ''7th Sigma'' is based on the novel.<ref>{{cite web |title=Interview: Steven Gould author of 7th Sigma |url=http://booktionary.blogspot.com/2011/07/interview-steven-gould-author-of-7th.html |website=The Mad Hatter's Bookshelf & Book Review |access-date=2 May 2019}}</ref> Gould's work features a young boy (named Kim) who is raised by a martial arts teacher and becomes involved in intelligence work.
