HURRICANE ROOM cover reveal

The U.S. cover art for Kim Sherwood's final Double O novel, Hurricane Room, has been revealed on Kim's Instagram. I love it. I certainly love the tagline: "James Bond is Alive." Thank you!

James Bond returns in the final installment of Kim Sherwood’s thrilling Double O Trilogy, and he must team up with the rest of the Double O Section to stop a threat from inside the agency itself.

If this cover seems strangely familiar, know that it is a take-off on unused poster art for On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

You can pre-order Hurricane Room at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Release date is May 21, 2026.

THE HOOK AND THE EYE paperback available NOW

Raymond Benson's Felix Leiter spin-off adventure, The Hook and the Eye, is now available in paperback from Ian Fleming Publications. The novel was first released as an eBook, which is also still available.

Felix Leiter – James Bond’s trusted friend and ally – takes centre stage in a brand new adventure by legendary Bond novelist, Raymond Benson.

It is 1952. Felix has lost his job at the CIA and finds himself working for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. What starts as a simple surveillance job turns into a matter of life and death when Felix stumbles upon a murder and a cabal of spies embedded in Manhattan. Hired to transport the impossibly beautiful and impossibly secretive Dora from New York to Texas, Felix is thrust into a non-stop adventure, where danger and deceit lie in wait around every bend in the road.

The Hook and the Eye is a mystery, a romance, a spy story, a road trip tale and a postcard of a lost Americana. It is also Raymond Benson at his very best.

This is one spin-off I can get behind. I'm a huge fan of Benson's Bond novels, and I know this is a book he wanted to write. I would love to see these become a series.
