Forever and a Day

‘A novel that feels very like a film. Fast-paced, skilfully written, leaves you wanting more – and for serious Bond junkies, the next fix in a long tale of addiction’

‘The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The expert in suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond’s story… the story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond’s charms. Ian Fleming would be proud’

‘An explosive prequel to Casino Royale which promises to please Bond aficionados and a new legion of fans’

‘A fine storyteller, Horowitz employs all the tropes fans know and love including an elegant explanation for the famous martini mandate, “shaken, not stirred”. He also delivers a conclusion whose moral complexity will surprise anyone expecting an ending more in line with Fleming’s own’

‘Horowitz celebrates his return to the James Bond franchise by providing the story of 007’s very first adventure in 1950. Crisp, unpretentious, and bound to please the legion of fans for whom a world of Bond is never enough’

‘It’s all great fun, and Horowitz has done splendidly’

‘Horowitz shows that he knows the Fleming books backwards, offering plot twists that are homages to the master’s novels. An amusing and thought-provoking addition to the post-Fleming Bond canon’
