Two authors: licensed to thrill. Bond fans Vaseem Khan and Kim Sherwood discuss their reimaginings of the world of James Bond, bringing new and old characters to life. Both authors are working on books from the James Bond universe, at the invitation of the Ian Fleming Estate. They talk to Ava Glass, spy fiction writer and former investigative journalist.
Khan’s Quantum of Menace follows Q as he returns to his sleepy hometown. As he begins investigating the death of his childhood friend, a renowned quantum computer scientist, he soon finds danger closing in. Sherwood’s Hurricane Room is the latest in a series of Double O novels she is writing. When Agent 003 finds James Bond in Russia after years of searching, she just needs to get him out. But a mistrustful Bond only wants revenge on the head of a terrorist organisation with links to his past.
