Reviews

Praise for Kim Sherwood

Unshackled from the burden of fidelity to Flemings character, her book feels a lot freer and more spontaneous than the more conventional Bond continuation novels, while still managing to capture something of Flemings rollicking spiritTelegraph

A boldly innovative James Bond novel . . . [Sherwood] rises impressively to all the challenges of the formula the cliffhangers, the exotic locations, the wry specificity about lifestyle and weaponry brands, the blend of kiss kiss and bang bang while adding ideas such as making Q a quantum computer and putting the climate crisis at her remarkable thrillers centre Sunday Times

A clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon. Filled with characters so real we feel we know them, the novel races through its surprising plot twists like an Aston Martin in high gear. Get this book and clear your calendarthough it wont be for long; I read it in one sitting Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel

A cleverly plotted and absorbing novel with a fantastic cast of fully rounded characters in this breathtaking new novel. I loved it Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Innocent One

Stylish, explosive, fresh and fun, Kim Sherwood takes one of the worlds most beloved series and makes it her own. Faithful, yet entirely original, Double or Nothing is everything you could want in a spy novel Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End

'Bang up to date and action-packed, Kim Sherwood has taken the world of James Bond and turned it on its head Charles Cumming, author of BOX 88

Blistering, breakneck, brilliant. Sherwood's first Double O novel delivers everything you could want and more from a high-octane, high-stakes spy thriller. The world of Bond is in expert hands Tim Glister, author of Red Corona

Moves at a brisk clip with some great action scenes and snappy dialogue Financial Times
