I've got faith in Deaver to make a successful Bond novel. I just wish he would do more than just one.

I share this faith, although I am happy with the one book. He does not need to do another. Leave them wanting more. Look at Sex and the City 2, should have left it alone after the first film........

Hey, if Deaver does a good job, I'm all for him coming back and doing another. It wouldn't be until 2014 or so. Plenty of time for him to work up a new idea and the passion for another. Besides, most of the continuation authors got better as they went along.

You haven't seen Sex and the City 2 have you Zencat. Trust me, it's a good example.

I cant imagine he would have the time for a 2nd. If he does though well, fair play because one would hope it's been a success.

Well Dan the one Reason I want Deaver to do more then one Is I'm extremly curious about this bond world where he is born in the early 80's what he is Like who are his villians and what does the secret dark world of espionage hold in present-the future.


If Deaver does leave I fear IFP won't continue.


though if they do with a new author I suggest American Brad Meltzer.

Honestly though who do you want to write X-Bond 2

You paying attention here, Quantum? It's been pretty clear this is a multi-author series.

Higson, Charlie Higson. There is no substitute.

You paying attention here, Quantum? It's been very clear this is a multi-author series.

Wait I thought it was rumoured It's been confirmed


So Who should write Xbond 2.

Many here love Charlie Higson but Can he do Bond born in 1980 and in the preasent novel?

BRad Meltzer is a great thriller writer and could do an amazing Job. I'm Aslo interested in Andy Mcdermmont he's British and I'm looking foward to read Hercules Tomb by him. the Plot is interesting enough I'll let you know how he does.



And Zen you know me better then that I always think with my heart not my head

[terminus]

Oh, I'd definitely be behind McDermott writing X2 - he knows how to plot an enjoyable action romp and he'd be a change of pace to both Deaver and to Fleming.

Well, that a good point. It hasn't been officially confirmed by IFP, has it? But Deaver has alluded to the fact that other authors would be picking up from his book, so...

[DAN LIGHTER]

Good point about From Russia with love Zencat.

Good point about Charlie Higson taking on New Bond. Not sure it is his cup of tea? Just might be better for him to keep Bond in the Fleming time frame.

[zencat]

BTW, I'm going to keep up with all the Project X whatnot on my Facebook fan page, The Book Bond. Not just my own stuff, but links and news from all over the web. Join if you like.

I think Charlie would love to do an adult Bond (no matter the time frame) and would knock it out of the park. He's said in interviews that he'd like to do it. And he has written adult thrillers. He must do an XBond novel at some point. He must!

[DAN LIGHTER]

I bet it has already been done and dusted that Charlie Higson will do adult Bond. He is part of the IFP family, you never leave the family.

Book Bond is the place to be, what with you being in "The Circle of Trust" with IFP Zencat

I think I will be getting good access to breaking info, but I'll channel that right here to CBn. I'll make sure we won't miss a thing.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Alright, but make sure you are aloud to share it. I dont want to see you outside the circle of trust.

Now, anything else to go on about Project X? Still no front page counter.

[Righty007]

I don't think we're not going to get one on CBn. The admins are MIA.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Dam, I like my front page counter to the big day here

Fear not, I have a moleskine diary so I will put it in there, along with what I had for tea this afternoon. It's riveting.

[zencat]

I'd like a counter as well. I believe K1Bond has made one, but the Admins have vanished on Octopussy's island.

[Jeff007]

What a time to be AWOL.

[zencat]

You know, I just noticed the main page still has featured Devil May Care and QOS links. They've been on that island a loooong time.

How about Project X, Bond 23, and GoldenEye links up there instead. I'll throw out the idea.

[Loomis]

Definitely time to bury those two abominations.

[terminus]

To be fair, we don't actually have a release date to count down to yet, do we?

[Righty007]

To be fair, we don't actually have a release date to count down to yet, do we?

The one on the Project X website is counting down to May 28, 2011 but Deaver has said that the actual release could come a few days before or a few days after.

[zencat]

Just mirror the official site countdown to May 28, 2011.

EDIT: Yes, what Righty said.

[DAN LIGHTER]

I could hack into the main frame and sort the counter out for us.......I just need a harness like Tom Cruse in Mission Imposable and I am good to go.......anyone?

and why hasn't the forums been updated with a Goldeneye Sub Forum like they did for Quantum of Solace?


I mean I loved Quantum of solace as much as anyone else and even I'm saying it's time to move on It's 2010 people lol.

[Santa]

Honestly though who do you want to write X-Bond 2

Jim

[uncanny]

I'm very excited for Projet X. The elements that I've wanted brought back (Mary Goodnight, etc.) have made me renew my faith in the literary continuation novels.

Wow, has Jim been published?

[Guy Haines]

For any Bond fans in my neck of the woods - Jeffrey Deaver will be at the Nottingham branch of Waterstones on Wednesday 28th July.

[DAN LIGHTER]

I always check Waterstones event page as it's updated more regularly than jefferydaver.com

http://www.waterston...mc_id=EventsNav


Also WhSmith, which is the chav of the book world now.

http://www.whsmith.c...reSignings.aspx

Thats my tip.

[terminus]

Am just upset that my local appearance in Manchester is not a talk and just a signing, from what people have said he sounds like an interesting fellow to listen to.

Check out the main page. It's done. Thanks Admiral.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Yes, all done. I normally just log straight into the forums these days for the latest news.
