Young Bond news has been a little slow of late, so I've gone trolling for International news. I've turned up a Portuguese Double or Die (with a curiously modified skull design) and very early news (and beautiful high-res cover art) for the Dutch Hurricane Gold. Check 'em out:

Seems like there's a flux of upcoming Young Bond releases once again. :(

Dang! Does this mean we can't have "Death Knows No Tomorrow" as a Bond 23 title?! :(

More German Young Bond goodness. Arena will release the Hurricane Gold audiobook (read by Rufus Beck) and a special combo pack of SilverFin and Blood Fever in early 09.

Dutch By Royal Command coming in June. Title: Sneeuwblind (Snowblind). Not a bad title, actually.

Click for cover art.

I just got the final cover art from IFP. It's a little different. Replaced it in the article. You can still see the old art in my BRC cover gallery.

Oops. Turns out I had it backwards. What I thought was prototype was actually the final, and what I thought was final was the prototype. Got that? All swapped out and corrected.

Relieved. That artwork with the girl was not as strong, IMO.

Check out these Chinese editions. Very different, but cool. These appear to have come out in 2008, but I just found them now.

Quite cool indeed. Those "police badges" look embossed too.
