While James Bond fans wait for a new 007 movie, they can enjoy a fresh Bond novel – and it’s one different from all the rest.
Double or Nothing is the first James Bond novel to be written by a woman.
Kim Sherwood – who has been obsessed with the character since childhood – won the commission from the estate of late Bond creator Ian Fleming to create a series of books.
Her first one puts the focus largely on the female characters in 007’s world, including expanded responsibilities for Moneypenny.
