The start of a brand new trilogy following MI6's agents with a licence to kill, that blows the world of James Bond wide open! He appears in flashback conversations and memories of the current crop of 00s, now run by Moneypenny. Sherwood's debut novel Testament, published in 2018, won the Bath Novel Award, was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Award, shortlisted for the Author's Club Best First Novel, and won the Harpers’ Bazaar Big Book Award.

Our other featuring 00 is gay, so a very slight sense that boxes are being ticked to bring the intelligence services into 2022. Bashir and Harwood’s romantic entanglement didn’t survive that loss, and Bond is still missing, presumed either dead or in enemy hands. And this book, like its protagonists, has a mission, to widen the window of who gets to be a superspy and what issues these books should consider. Convoluted, drawn out, complicated and be sure to keep it very modern with same sex , black , deaf , equal opportunities etc etc. It seems a more accurate reflection of the real world and certainly the direction of the spy-craft genre.With an exceptional talent for plunging us into the heart of the action and bringing all the characters to life. Not part of the official Bond series (evidenced brilliantly by Anthony Horowitz’s recent With A Mind To Kill), this is more of a companion piece.

Unfortunately, to my mind, these connections were not enough to turn around what was, at base, a fairly mundane spy thriller. So we are introduced to another 4 MI6 agents from the "00" team, odd that no 00 seems to go beyond the number 10? It was longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize and shortlisted for the Author’s Club Best First Novel Pick. Meanwhile in the world of comics; Dynamite Entertainment started a run of James Bond stories in 2015 that showed that the world of 007 can be successfully modernized with series after series brilliantly adapting old storylines and characters and creating many new ones.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Zoals ergens in het verhaal gezegd wordt: door leugens vaak met veel nadruk te herhalen gaan mensen dat als de waarheid zien. Ovviamente in Italia non si pubblica più la saga di 007 grazie a editori miopi e che cercano più di fregare gli autori italiani che proporre cose interessanti.
