In September 2016, the title of Cole's fourth and final Young Bond novel was revealed to be Red Nemesis. [21] Main series [ edit ] The day before I got the call, I had no notion of a new Bond adventure. It was not on my mind. And yet just a day or two after the call, the idea leapt almost fully formed – it shot out with the clarity and decisiveness of a poisoned blade hidden in the sole of a Smersh shoe. My story is set two days before the Coronation and finds Bond reflecting on his recent mission – to ‘neutralise’ a threat to King Charles III in the form of the self-styled Æthelstan of Wessex who sees himself as the true heir to the throne. The mission takes Bond to Croatia, Hungary and an ancient castle where Bond must take on Æthelstan and his army. Some things go as planned. Others do not.

According to Charlie Higson, Ian Fleming Publications initially planned for him to only write one novel and that every subsequent novel would be written by a rotating author. This plan fell apart and Higson agreed to author future books in the series. However, following Higson's five books, subsequent books have been written by Steve Cole. [4] Main series [ edit ] Since the release of the first novel, SilverFin, in 2005, the series has become very successful [3] and has led to further works including games, a graphic novel and a supplemental travel guide. Charlie Higson’s phenomenally successful Young Bond series has sold over a million copies in the UK alone and has been translated into more than 24 different languages. He adds: Corinne Turner, Managing Director of Ian Fleming Publications Ltd, comments: “The Coronation of King Charles III is a momentous occasion for the country. We asked ourselves how we at Ian Fleming Publications could celebrate it, and the answer seemed obvious. Ian Fleming’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was first published on 1st April 1963. What better way, sixty years on, to mark this new chapter in history than with a brand new story: On His Majesty’s Secret Service? We shared our thoughts with Charlie, and he was delighted to take on the challenge of writing a Bond adventure in time for publication in May. Together we hope this book will give valuable support to the National Literacy Trust.”While Bond is destined to become one of the greatest spies in the world and go down in history as one of the most famous characters ever to be featured in movies, Silverfin focuses on the spy before he was even aware of who he would grow up to be. Instead of worrying about women and villains and super plans to take over the world, James’s biggest problem was how he was going to fit in with his classmates at a new school. In December 2010 all five Young Bond books were released as eBooks by Ian Fleming Publications. [29] After studying at the University of East Anglia, Charlie formed a band, The Higsons. He then became a decorator before turning to the world of television and going into partnership with his friend Paul Whitehouse. Their successes included 'Saturday Live', the 'Harry Enfield Television Programme', 'The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer', 'Shooting Stars', 'Randall and Hopkirk, Deceased', the film 'Suite 16', 'Swiss Toni' and 'The Fast Show'. there's something in the water at Loch Silverfin, something deadly, something that must be kept a secret. It's James' first day at Eton his new school, and he's already met his first enemy. This is the start of an adventure that will take him from the school playing fields to the shores of Loch Silverfin in Scotland and lead to a terrifying discovery that threatens to change the world forever.
