Double or Nothing: An explosive new 2022 spy thriller novel, blowing the world of James Bond wide open! (Latest official 007)

Product Information

The James Bond continuation series has had quite a run since Ian Fleming's first novel Casino Royale in 1953. The majority of it is clearly contemporary and yet Q is now a (bizarrely large) quantum computer (a bad idea robbing us of character interplay) as is the "brain" of the antagonist. It was longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize and shortlisted for the Author’s Club Best First Novel Pick. I feel honoured to be the first novelist to expand the Bond universe through the Double O sector, bringing new life to old favourites, and fresh characters to the canon.

The Met's TPAC - Tactical Pursuit And Containment - the most likely training that SIS officer's would receive) as taught as part of the RAC MSA's competition license course.

This book takes place in the world of 007 but he does not take any active part in the story, no white knight as James Bond. De spanning bestaat uit martelscenes die bij de echte Bond verhalen impliciet waren en hier expliciet getekend worden. If you're looking for a new Bond book to read this year go for Anthony Horowitz's superb and far superior 'With a Mind to Kill'. If you’ve followed my other reviews… you know there has been a lot of adventures of Bond that have fallen short, but Sherwood I feel brings us a story that fits where we are now, in both literature and film of the Bond world.

Populating the story with several new characters, more 00’s than we’ve seen before, but also peppered throughout with familiar character favorites as well.Let those of us who are going to get them, get them with just the one clue and feel clever, and move on for those readers who are less obsessive about Fleming's back catalogue. It makes the characters far less believable when each of them swoons at the name of Bond and remember the words he said to them in painful detail.

I don’t care about anyone saying this pails in comparison to Ian Fleming’s books, because it’s not even trying to mimic them.Author and life-long 007 fan Kim Sherwood's mission begins with a hunt for a missing James Bond and introduces a host of new Double Os – pulling the agency kicking and screaming into the 2020s with a, perhaps, box ticking exercise. Bashir and Harwood’s romantic entanglement didn’t survive that loss, and Bond is still missing, presumed either dead or in enemy hands.
