Authors Kim Sherwood and Charlie Higson are scheduled to talk about James Bond (or Bond-related) novels at an event later this month.
The writers are part of a program at the Bath Festival at 11 a.m., London time, on May 26. The festival says the authors will conduct "an in-depth discussion on James Bond, the world's greatest literary spy" and why the character still resonates more than 70 years after his debut in Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale.
Sherwood has written two novels about 00-agents other than Bond. She details their adventures while Bond himself is missing. Higson wrote a series of "Young Bond" novels as well as a 2003 novella, On His Majesty's Secret Service, a story connected to the coronation of King Charles.
The event is at the Guildhall and tickets cost £8 ($10.15) or £13 ($16.49).
Separately, Ian Fleming Publications announced a special limited edition of 200 copies of a new paperback edition of On His Majesty's Secret Service. Each copy is signed by Higson. The price is £9.99 ($12.67).
IFP says the new edition has "revised text and exclusive bonus content." On His Majesty's Secret Service was produced in a hurry. Higson last year acknowledged not catching some mistakes until he recorded the audiobook version.
