Devil May Care is being published in May 2008 to celebrate the Centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth. This new instalment in the adventures of the world’s most iconic spy has been written by one of Britain’s most admired novelists, Sebastian Faulks
`That a literary novelist of Faulks`s calibre should take on Fleming`s mantle is a fitting tribute to one of Britain`s greatest thriller writers.`—Ben Macintyre, The Times
`Move over Harry Potter, the published event of this year will be the new James Bond book, Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks` —Daily Express
`The biggest literary thrill of 2008` —Observer
`Fans of James Bond ... are in for a vintage year` —Guardian
`I fell to my knees and wept with envy and rage last week when I opened my morning newspaper to discover that Ian Fleming`s estate had asked Sebastian Faulks to write the next James Bond book` —Jeremy Clarkson, Sunday Times
`My novel is meant to stand in the line of Fleming’s own books, where the story is everything.” said Faulks, “In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling.” Picking up from where Fleming left off in 1966 with The Living Daylights / Octopussy, Faulks has written the perfect continuation of the James Bond legacy. Devil May Care is set during the Cold War and features all the glamour, thrills and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond... James Bond.`
