Bond is back, and so is Pussy Galore
Portrait taken in the early 1960s of Ian Fleming, a British journalist, secret service agent, writer, whose most famous creation was the superhero James Bond. – AFP Relaxnews pic, May 28, 2015.The next authorised James Bond novel will be called "Trigger Mortis" and as well as resurrecting one of Ian Fleming's most iconic Bond girls, the new book will also feature elements from a treatment that Fleming himself wrote before his death in 1964.
Written by Anthony Horowitz – the novelist behind the highly successful "Alex Rider" spy novels for young adults – "Trigger Mortis" will pick up quite literally where 1957's "Goldfinger" left off and will make its official debut on September 8 when it is published by Orion.
The information about the latest authorised Bond book was revealed on Thursday, the day that would have marked Ian Fleming's 107th birthday.
And along with the cover design, title and major characters, Horowitz also revealed that some of the book is based on a discarded treatment for a Bond TV script that Fleming had written – "Murder on Wheels" which sees the British spy caught up in a Formula One Grand Prix at Germany's Nurburgring. – AFP Relaxnews, May 28, 2015.
