BOND SAVE THE KING

It’s the 4th of May, two days before the coronation of King Charles III and the world’s favourite spy has his work cut out for him.

Bond is sent at the last minute to thwart an attempt to disrupt the coronation by the deadly megalomaniac Æthelstan of Wessex, who is on a mission of his own to rule the United Kingdom and rewrite history.

Can Bond thwart his plans by infiltrating Æthelstan’s private army and ending his reign of terror before it begins?

In support of the National Literacy Trust.

Comments and Reviews


23skidoo 8th Jun 2024		@David Whiteley - thanks for the added info! I'm still waiting for the book to be available in my part of Canada. I can't even order it on Amazon. To be fair Sherwood's new Bond-without-Bond book is nowhere to be found here either.



David Whiteley 6th Jun 2024		Added copyright page, back cover and, with acknowledgement to JPGR&B, a larger front cover scan. 178 numbered pages, plus an 11 page interview with Charlie Higson, title page, copyright page etc. 192 pages total. The revised text in the paperback edition consists of two pages added to Chapter 1, a few extra lines to Chapter 4 and four pages to Chapter 6.



23skidoo 2nd Mar 2024		Aside from the flaking text issue, one criticism I saw often regarding the first edition (at least on Amazon reviews) is that the project read like a rush job, which is was considering it was published only about 9 months after the Queen died (assuming the book wasn't written earlier and saved, of course). So it makes sense that a revised edition would come out later (which makes the first edition - good on you having a signed one - likely more collectible). For me, I'll watch for the paperback edition when it becomes available in Canada. Thanks for the extra info!



JPGR&B SUBS 2nd Mar 2024		@23skidoo I have updated the Notes and provided a link to ianfleming.com.



JPGR&B SUBS 2nd Mar 2024		@23skidoo This edition features revised text and exclusive bonus content [no further details as at 2 March 2024]. I have added this to the entry.



23skidoo 1st Mar 2024		There's a 30-page difference between hardcover and paperback. Additional content?
