Think maybe it's time I published an updated version here on The Book Bond. With an authentic 30s setting and meticulous research, Charlie Higson has created a teenage James Bond who is absolutely true to Ian Flemings creation. Get to know the teenager who became the worlds most iconic spy. I took a look at the similarities in an article on a few years back. SilverFin - the first Young Bond title by Charlie Higson. The best-selling Young Bond novels are set in the 1930s and they show how James Bond’s early adventures shape the man he is to become. There is a rich history of ideas from the continuation novels mysteriously finding their way into the Bond films (Colonel Moon anyone?). I guess we could also point to License Renewed, which features a Scottish Castle as a major location, but not in the book's climax. Heck, Duntrune even looks like Castle SilverFin from various SilverFin cover art. This graphic novel adaptation of SILVERFIN finds young James Bond, who attends school at Eton boarding school, teaming up with Red to investigate the mystery of the disappearance in Scotland of Alfie Kelly, Red's cousin.
Of course, the climax of Charlie Higson's first Young Bond novel SilverFin was also set in a Scottish Castle. Seems like every time we get a bit of information about the next James Bond film, it sounds like sometime out of one of the continuation novels (at least to my obsessed mind).įirst we heard that the film might feature South Africa and an action sequence involving freight trains ( Carte Blanche), then we got the rumored title Skyfall ( Cold Fall), now the BBC reports that the explosive climax of the film will take place at Duntrune Castle in Scotland.
