The Battle for Bond

The Battle For Bond will undoubtedly become the most important book ever published about the evolution of Ian Fleming’s James Bond from Fifties’ literary sensation to Sixties’ cinematic icon.

Comments Graham Rye, Editor and Publisher 007 Magazine: “Having read Robert Sellers’ manuscript, The Battle For Bond will undoubtedly become the most important book ever published about the evolution of Ian Fleming’s James Bond from Fifties’ literary sensation to Sixties’ cinematic icon.

"With many unpublished facts and information drawn firsthand from correspondence between Ian Fleming and Kevin McClory, and the other protagonists involved at the inception of Agent 007 becoming a screen hero, Sellers’ book is a ‘must read’ for anyone who consider themselves either a Bond aficionado or a serious student of the history of cinema.”

Although it is almost a year to publication date of the especially commissioned new James Bond book, there is quite a buzz going on as to who the writer is. Obviously, Peter Guttridge got the first look in, but he has now categorically denied that it is him. So, let's set our sites to others. I believe they will stick with tradition and go with a British author. And it isn't Lee Child. One name that comes to my mind is Anthony Horowitz. Why? Think about it. He has the credentials: he is a high profile figure, known to younger readers for the Alex Ryder books, renown for his TV work. Makes a lot of sense, what do you think?
