Higson says Faulks doesn’t know what he’s in for

Young Bond author Charlie Higson has commented on the news that Sebastian Faulks is the new Centenary Bond novelist.

Charlie told The Guardian, “I think Sebastian probably doesn't know what he has let himself in for. He will find himself completely immersed in the world of Bond and for ever after will be pursued as a Bond author.”

Charlie added: “He will now find himself getting requests to do photo shoots wearing the odd tuxedo, and I imagine he'll say no, but after a while you sort of give in. That's the thing about James Bond. It just turns everyone into kids.”

Faulks’ Bond novel, Devil May Care, will be released next year by Penguin Books in the UK and Doubleday in the U.S.
