I’m just excited to see what the UK cover for Hurricane Room is going to look like. Hopefully we get some news on that soon.
As well as some news on a signed edition. Maybe. Hopefully. Please!?

There’s been a fresh newsletter from IFP but I cannot turn its contents into something resembling a readable version on here, so I just give you the link to the page and hope readers will find what they look for there:

More Q books?
Should the thread even be called “Bond’s Literary News” at this point?

I can only repeat, an adult Bond novel with Bond as main protagonist is quite unlikely before Amazon gets anywhere definite with BOND 26. Of course, they could theoretically kick off all kinds of stuff together with IFP in behind-the-scenes talks. But would Pascal and Heyman really invest time in a niche sideline of the property when the main event has yet to take off? I doubt it.
That said, once the film is actually shot and in post production I could see Amazon release the comeback of the film tie-in. Based on the script and done by AI, can’t cost them more than a click by the time BOND 26 hits the screens.

That AI entity will definitely be involved in the writing of future Bond novels.
