The story is probably the Hurricane Gold short story that takes place on the boat.

Definitely sounds like a must-buy to me. Also glad to see it matches all the other Young Bond books when it will end up on the shelf.
It's too bad that 1-3 didn't have the same style. I wouldn't have been so critical of 3 had that been the case. I mean a skull? Terrible.. but on that hard cover it would have been cool.
At least the US editions are in sync from 2-4.

I'm wondering if we'll see a four pack as we saw the three pack before publication of the HG paperback last year. I'll have to rely on my friends in the UK to let me know. I had no idea that The Young Bond Collection had been published until I spotted them in Borders while I was in the UK for the Centenary.A "six pack" of a Young Bond boxset won't be too long in coming, I think.
And here we were thinking 2009 would be dead year for the lit Bond.

By the way zencat, any idea if/when Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier will be released in the U.S.? Since the U.K. version comes out before we get By Royal Command, I would assume the U.S. wouldn't get Danger Society until next fall at the earliest, if at all.

Exciting news. Great title too. I'm really looking forward to reading Charlie Higson's new short story. Should be interesting.

I would think it would have to be after the US BRC, so we might not see it until 2011. But I will ask Disney next week.By the way zencat, any idea if/when Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier will be released in the U.S.?

As it's the same publisher, I'm sure Australia will get it around the same time as the UK release, as with all the YB books. But I will keep an eye out for the exact date.and don't forget us in Australia

I think so too. I appreciate you making sure, though.As it's the same publisher, I'm sure Australia will get it around the same time as the UK release, as with all the YB books. But I will keep an eye out for the exact date.

A preview of a short story seems kind of dumb to me. Not knocking it really, it's just that .. it's already short.
I’d read it if I were already getting the book. But I’ll wait for The Danger Soceity.

Well I don't know how "short" this short story is going to be. If you look at the official blurb, it just says "story." I noticed this immediately, but Puffin called it a "short story" in our emails, so I picked it up. But it possible it's something much more substantial.A preview of a short story seems kind of dumb to me. Not knocking it really, it's just that .. it's already short.
What excites me here is, hopefully, we will learn the title of the story, and I expect the preview will confirm whether this is the shipboard story Charlie talked about back in '07, or something new...maybe post BRC. Waiting until November for this info would have been murder.
