Figured this would be as good a place as any to post this. :wink:

Anywho, as some of you may know, there's a new Bond novel coming out soon (this month in the UK and next month in the USA): Carte Blanche by Jeffrey Deaver, author of The Bone Collector and Garden of Beasts. Since I was originally a fan of the book Bond and not the film Bond(s), I'm always excited to hear about the release of a new Bond book and considering it's being written by a fellow NC resident is just putting the cherry on the top. :mrgreen:

That aside, here's some clips regarding the book, one being a silent trailer for the book. :wink:

Anyone else excited for this?

While I definitely think the Fleming books were the best Bond books, I have to say John Gardner's early novels were quite splendid. Even better than some of the lesser Fleming novels, but overall nothing in comparison to the classic novels. :wink:

That said, Jeffrey Deaver is apparently a well-respected writer and his Garden of Beasts won the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award a few years ago. Me thinks this one will actually be a pretty good book.
