New Bond book by
Anthony Horowitz to write new James Bond novel
Anthony
Horowitz to write new James Bond novel inspired by original unseen Fleming
material
Ian Fleming Publications Ltd. and the Ian Fleming Estate are delighted to
announce that bestselling and award-winning author Anthony Horowitz
has been invited to write the next James Bond novel, due for worldwide
release on 8th September 2015.
Horowitz is one of the UK’s most successful authors and has over forty
books to his name including his recent Sherlock Holmes novel, The House of
Silk, and his enormously successful teen spy series featuring Alex Rider.
As a TV screenwriter he created both Midsomer Murders and the
BAFTA-winning Foyle’s War, and is looking forward to taking on his
next project:
‘It’s no secret that Ian Fleming’s extraordinary character has had
a profound influence on my life, so when the Estate approached me to write a new
James Bond novel how could I possibly refuse? It’s a huge challenge but having
original, unpublished material by Fleming has been an inspiration. This is a
book I had to write.’
Set in the 1950s, Horowitz’s story will be unique among the modern James
Bond novels, in that a section will contain previously unseen material
written by Ian Fleming. Fleming’s great niece, Jessie Grimond
explains:
‘In the 1950s Ian Fleming wrote several episode treatments for a James
Bond television series. But it never came to be made and he ended up
turning most of the plots into the short stories that are now in the collections
For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy and The Living Daylights. However, there
are a few plot outlines which he never used and which, till now, have never been
published, or aired. Given that Anthony is as brilliant a screenwriter as he is
a novelist, we thought it would be exciting to see what he would do with one of
them.’
The treatment which will act as a starting point for Anthony Horowitz’s
Bond novel is titled Murder on Wheels, and follows
Bond on a mission in the world of motor racing. Other familiar Fleming
characters which feature in the TV treatment include ‘M’ and Miss Moneypenny.
The novel will be published in the UK and Commonwealth by Orion Publishing
Group and simultaneously by HarperCollins Publishers in USA & Canada.

NEW BOND NOVEL NAMED ‘TRIGGER MORTIS’
Today, on what would have been Ian Fleming’s 107th birthday,
we are proud to announce the title of Anthony Horowitz’s new James Bond
novel….. Trigger
Mortis.
Trigger Mortis is set in 1957, just two weeks after the events of
Fleming’s 7th novel, Goldfinger. Horowitz places
Bond in the middle of the Soviet-American Space Race as the United States
prepares for a critical rocket launch, and brings back the most famous Bond
Girl of all: trapeze artist turned gangster, Pussy Galore! As well as
Pussy Galore, the book features a brand new Bond Girl Jeopardy Lane and a
sadistic, scheming Korean adversary hell-bent on vengeance Jai Seung Sin,
a.k.a Jason Sin. Uniquely among latter-day Bond authors, Horowitz has included
original Ian Fleming material: a treatment for Murder on Wheels, an
episode of a television series that was never made. Fleming’s text sees Bond
in the high-octane world of motor racing and it is his never-used plot that
kicks off the action of Trigger Mortis.
Anthony Horowitz commented, “It was always my intention to go back to
the true Bond, which is to say, the Bond that Fleming created and it was a
fantastic bonus having some original, unseen material from the master to
launch my story. I was so glad that I was allowed to set the book two weeks
after my favourite Bond novel, Goldfinger, and I'm delighted that
Pussy Galore is back! It was great fun revisiting the most famous Bond Girl of
all - although she is by no means the only dangerous lady in Trigger
Mortis. I hope fans enjoy it. My aim was to make this the most authentic
James Bond novel anyone could have written.”
Like previous new James Bond adventures, Trigger Mortis was
commissioned and authorised by Ian Fleming Publications and the Ian Fleming
Estate. Lucy Fleming, the niece of Ian Fleming, said: “What a brilliant
birthday present for Ian - Anthony has written a James Bond book with a
nail-biting adventure that could have come from Ian’s own typewriter.
Anthony has cleverly incorporated Ian’s original ideas in to his own plot to
produce a Bond book to remember.”
