	Fantastic news. Disappointing to see that Graham Rye is not enthusiastic about the future of James Bond and Lee Child doesn't know what he's talking about. Le Carre would never do it. Forsythe would be terrific. Other choices who would do a good job, IMO: Martin Amis Iain Banks Len Deighton Me ACE GBA Beltway Outsider Erm Nukehavistan Doh!

	This is great news. It sounds like it's going to be a period piece. I hope it takes place after The Man With The Red Tattoo. The Young Bond Dossier · Est. 2006 \| FelixLeiter.com · Est. 2008

	Specatcular news, especially if it goes back to a Flemingesque feel, which it probably will. I prefer it not be a big name author because he/she might try to add his/her own touches that us staunch Bond fans won't enjoy..

	I had a feeling IFP was going to make an announcment of this sort at some point. They seem a lot more ambitious these days. A young Bond book and an adult Bond book. MMmmmmM. Can't wait to see who they choose.

	At last. I can't wait to hear further news on this. "You don't have to worry about me."

	Good to see something other than the "Young James Bond" rubbish coming from IFP! It wouldn't be a James Bond adventure starring Daniel Craig without some controversy! Strawberry Fields, forever

	Well, to some of us, it's not even James Bond.

	Thank God. (clinkeroo takes a breath of relief) Now, to start praying for Forsythe. A great day for fans of Fleming's Bond.
