Why wasn't authors with experience of writing teen spy novels do it? Such as Anthony Horowitz; Alex Rider series, or Mark A. Cooper; Jason Steed series, or Joe Craig; Jimmy Coates series. All three have a proven track record or writing teen spy novels that teens actually love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899612125780153782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233203994322586500.post-71793034094776874252013-10-14T22:36:29.248-07:002013-10-14T22:36:29.248-07:00Charlie Higson hasn't covered the pocket book ...Charlie Higson hasn't covered the pocket book and French hooker affair. His audience was little kids and us literary Bond fans. John Pearson wrote about it and like all of his book it was written very well. It's my favourite Bond book by a continuation author.

Surely that's more relevant? Anyway, I've ordered the first book from that series to get a taste of his style... and because I'm a fan of the teen spy genre in general.Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910873055922510145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233203994322586500.post-59405454681247314632013-10-09T18:52:01.462-07:002013-10-09T18:52:01.462-07:00Charlie Higson will be a hard act to follow.

He's an editor at Random House. He used to edit the Doctor Who books, and was notorious for commissioning himself a lot and mediocrity - just trawl the Who boards and ask them what reputation he has. This is an internal hire, not some headhunted top talent.
