HURRICANE GOLD paperback promotional poster

Our friends at Puffin Books have given us an exclusive first look at this spectacular new promotional poster for the paperback edition of Charlie Higson’s Hurricane Gold. The book is set for release on May 28, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ian Fleming. As previously reported, the paperback will include a preview extract of the fifth Young Bond novel, By Royal Command.

May 28, 2008 is going to be a big day for Bond fans young and old. In addition to the Centenary and Hurricane Gold, the day will also see the release of an all-new adult Bond novel, Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks.

Charlie Higson will launch the paperback Hurricane Gold with a personal appearance at the Hay Literary Festival in Hay-on-Wye. He will then embark on a UK book tour. No word yet on a launch event for Devil May Care, but certainly IFP and Penguin have something cooking for the big day.

Speaking of the big day, I will be traveling to the UK during the Centenary week and will provide full coverage and a gallery of pics of all the exciting Young Bond and Centenary events.

Get ready for Bondmania 2008!
