Bond gets shaken. Not stirred
In May 2008, to mark the centenary of Sir Ian Fleming's birth, Penguin UK will publish a new Bond novel - Devil May Care, written by one of Britain's most admired novelists, Sebastian Faulks. The novel was commissioned by the Fleming estate and will be set in "several of the world's most thrilling cities" during the Cold War. Faulks enjoyed following Sir Ian's lead, he said "In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling."
