I've just posted a new Q&A with Charlie Higson about his fifth (and maybe not so final) Young Bond adventure. Some good stuff here.

I really like this lines in the interview:
 QUOTE I am not saying I won’t return to Young Bond in the future... ...so I hope to be involved with Young Bond in one way or another for many more years to come. Btw, I have a feeling that he knows more of the future than he slipped in the interviews. He is a mystery man. This post has been edited by Mr Twilight: 11 March 2008 - 17:19 |

Good questions zencat. The wait for 'BRC' is going to kill me.

Btw, I have a feeling that he knows more of the future than he slipped in the interviews. He is a mystery man. It's becoming clear that Young Bond IS going to continue. Maybe just in graphic novels, or games, or maybe there is a Series II in the works. I don't know. But one thing I've noticed is in none of the official BRC material (press release, Cent site) is the book referred to as to "final" Young Bond, just the "fifth."

That's a good interview Zencat. The Young Bond Dossier is a great site. I would like him to write more but I fear he means he will just oversee the graphic novels.

I would like him to write more but I fear he means he will just oversee the graphic novels. There's also that possibility of a short story. Remember that? I considered asking Charlie about this, but I wanted to just focus on BRC. Thanks for the compliments re the site, quantumofsolace. Keep watching. I've got some great stuff coming up.

BTW, I love the sound of Bond's "utility jacket" based on something boys at Eton use to do. I really like how Charlie works in "gadgets" that are grounded in reality/history (like the Apache in DOD).

Fantastic Q&A, zen. Definitely sounding like this will be one of the best in the series.

Nice main pager, Qwert-O.
BTW, Charlie says the graphic novel is due in September, but according to the centenary site and Amazon, it's now October 4. "Fandom is where people come together and complain about what they like." Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news |

I really enjoy hearing Higson talk about the Young Bond books. He's obviously put a lot of work into them while retaining his enthusiasm for the project, and that comes through beautifully.
Remember the derision that greeted the announcement of the Young Bond series? These books could have been simply dire. That they've actually been thoroughly enjoyable, and a worthy addition to the Bond canon, is due in no small part to the talents and energy of Charlie Higson. Well done, Charlie, and thanks, Zencat, for bringing us so much information and insight into these books. |

A bit off-topic... I just recieved a mail from the swedish publisher, Tidens Förlag, and they informed me that apart of SilverFin (Silverfena) and Bloodfever (Blodsfeber) there will not be anymore translations of the books in the Young Bond-serie.
So no swedish Double or die So no swedish Hurricane gold So no swedish By Royal Command So good bye Young Bond (If I am pissed off??? Guess!

Great interview. If they continue the Young Bond series, I hope it will be when Bond is in his late teens in the war with more of an adult tone. |
