Steve Cole about to start his second YOUNG BOND book

Young Bond author Steve Cole, who has been vacationing in Mallorca, Spain (not a bad place to set a Bond book, hmmm), tweets that he's about to begin work on his second Young Bond novel.

SHOOT TO KILL finds a new firearm

The cover art for Steve Cole's new Young Bond novel, Shoot To Kill, has received a bit of a revision. The gun that featured on the artwork reveled in May has been swapped out with a new model. The change was made after fans pointed out that the gun on the original cover was made in 1938. Shoot To Kill takes place in 1934.

Frankly, I didn't have any problem with the original gun not being of the period (it looked good!), but kudos to IFP and Random House Children's for listening to the fans.
