Latest on STRIKE LIGHTNING - a "chilly" location?

A few updates on Steve Cole's upcoming Young Bond Strike Lightning due for release on September 1st. Like Heads You Die, the book will be released as a signed limited hardcover with extra content and as a paperback.

No cover art or plot description yet, but Steve Cole recently tweeted a response to a fan who asked where he should read the book. Steve suggested: "somewhere chilly?"

Could this mean Strike Lightning might have a snowbound location?

Both John Gardner and Raymond Benson chose to send Bond into the snow for their third continuation novels, Icebreaker (1983) and High Time To Kill (1999).

Amazon shows STRIKE LIGHTNING release Sept. 1

Amazon now has a pre-order listing for Steve Cole's third Young Bond adventure, Strike Lightning. It shows the book will be released in hardcover on September 1, 2016. Steve's newest Young Bond, Heads You Die, was release simultaneously in paperback and hardcover. I'm wondering if we'll see the same for Strike Lightning?
