Charlie Higson for Thriller: A James Bond Novel

This October Charlie Higson joins us to discuss his return to the world of Bond, King Zero. Charlie understands what people want from Bond — from ingenious gadgets to a mysterious and terrible villain to a world threatening conspiracy — and has imagined every element in the modern day. The result is a blockbusting, cinematic, jet-setting read with the theme of power at its heart: who has it, what it looks like in the age of self-driving cars and AI, and what it would look like if the balance of power was threatened on a fundamental level...

We hope to see you there!

Le Chiffre. Dr No. Goldfinger. James Bond has faced them all. But now the world is changing, and even 007 has no idea what's coming for him...

It starts with a murdered agent in the Saudi desert.

Only a traitor could have known enough to bring him down.

But even James Bond can't guess at the secret that was worth killing him to keep.

As Bond follows the trail across the globe, he doesn't realise the countdown has already begun.

And hiding in the shadows is a man with more power than he could ever have imagined.

Prepare for a villain unlike any before.

Prepare for KING ZERO.
