Earlier in the year during the release of the third novel
Double Or Die, author
Charlie Higson revealed some details on Book 4 exclusively
to MI6.
When asked whether he would continue the pattern of following
Fleming's templates by echoing some elements of the fourth
007 novel "Diamonds
Are Forever", Higson said "there are
some similarities, it is set in the Americas, there are
gangsters in it but there is no cowboy train!"
Higson continued, "after book three being set in London
I wanted very much to send Bond somewhere exotic and hot.
It is
largely
set in Mexico and the Caribbean and the plot does involve
gangsters."
Now that the Book 4 timetable has been
stepped up, readers may expect the fifth and final entry
in the series to be
released later in 2008 to coincide with the Ian Fleming
centenary. |
