Bring it on! I can't wait to read this book. I predict it will blow SilverFin away. And as popular as SilverFin was, that's saying something.

Is it just me, or is IFP kicking :) lately. Maybe they should give Eon a lesson in the Bond biz. :)

I hear ya, Zencat! Fast work, BTW :)

Young Bond is Back!

I really liked SilverFin despite my scepticism.

An abject lesson in try before you knock.

My favourite expression at the moment is particularly apt so I'll wheel it out again:

In the words of that great Chinese philosopher, Charlie Chan:

"Mind like parachute: function best when open!"

Bring it on IFP. Saturday Night BloodFever

Blood Fever is going to be much better than SilverFin! I didn't think that could be possible since SilverFin was amazing.

Well I hope they do the same in the US, SilverFin did pretty bad here in that respect. The fact that a US release hasn't even been mentioned makes me think that theres either some problems there or they're not going to release till April or so again. :)

I think I might import this time around.

Hope so. You're quite right - there's been nothing on it here.

Let's hope that it gets a similar promotional push here in the US. Well done to the UK publisher!!

I can't wait for this book. After loving SilverFin and having a great time meeting with Higson when he visited DC earlier this year I am so psyched for the second book in the series.

I trust that for all the hype, IFP won't forget to release a hardack edition in the US at least for us completists!

I think they'd do that anyway judging by the hardback being the main US release for the past book, SilverFin, in the US.
