Now on the CBn main page...
As said before I'm weak for short storys (I don't know why) and I hope Higson will give us a contribution. Thought Weinberg's Moneypenny short storys was a nice treat as well. |

This would be cool, but I just don't see it happening. Besides, the YB books are so tight in their timeline there's hardly any room for additional adventures.

Well maybe youre right about the tight timeline but, as I wrote in another thread, if they chose to continue the books about YB, lets say with a timeline with Bond in the age of fourteen to... say sixteen or seventeen, they could cover this era with a collection of short storys similar to the Sherlock Holmes collections. Hopefully with Higson behind the wheel.

Not a bad idea, Mr. Twilight. I'd certainly get behind that.
Maybe Higgy could then do his aborted Young Bond skiing idea. |

I guess he must have a few drafts left that could make good episodes. Would surprise me if he isn't.

Higson may never write a short story collection of Young Bond, but what is stopping us?
I may write an effort if I have any spare time. I have some scribble to do with Alps, learning to ski and some other things...   |

Little update on the YB short story front. Looks like it is a possibility.

Sounds somewhat promising.

QUOTE(zencat @ 4 October 2007 - 15:21)  Little update on the YB short story front. Looks like it is a possibility. Excellent news Zencat. Of course I am interested at the mention of Wilder Lawless returning, one thing Higson always seems to do really well is the female characters and Wilder Lawless is one of my favorite of his characters. Maybe, with the Benson short stories, the Higson short stories and the Weinberg short stories, there'll be enough to put together a book volume?  Robert Brown was Admiral Hargreaves in TSWLM, OP, AVTAK, TLD and LTK damnit Enforcer, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Roger Moore Proud defender of Barbara Bach, Carole Bouquet, Barbara Carrera, Maryam D'Abo, A View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again and The Spy Who Loved Me. |

Excellent scoop, zencat.
Here's hoping this happens - a cruise ship sounds like a perfect scenario for a short story to occur!  |

This is totally excellent! I really want this idea to happen.
The cruise ship concept is brilliant and exiting. Keep Young Bond rolling, people love it.

Stealing my idea.  I actually wrote this on my blog too earlier today, but I left out Benson because it doesn't fit the idea I have. I think it would be cool to collect short stories from Young Bond, The Moneypenny Diaries (with emphasis on Bond, of course), a Fleming one, and maybe beg Faulks to write a current adult one and then make a collection out of it for the Centenary. Moments in Bond's life or something to that effect. Good advertising vehicle for all these series.
