Titled Forever and a Death, the story was presumably adapted from an unused film treatment Westlake created for what would have been Pierce Brosnan's second James Bond movie.

It's kind of too bad it's not "real," as I think FOREVER AND A DEATH is a better Bond title than any actual Bond book since DEVIL MAY CARE!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the link and kind words.
Very likely paperback only (as most of theirs are), which is really a shame. They are also issuing an Erle Stanley Gardner book for the first time, also only in paper...
ReplyDeleteYes, I assume it will be paperback only, too. But they do issue a few titles in hardcover. It would sure be nice if this turned out to be one of those!
ReplyDeleteI had the chance to speak to publisher Charles Ardai last night. He said the decision to issue hardcovers is pretty much made by the booksellers: if they don't believe they can move the title in hardback, it's only issued as a paperback.
