The fifth novel in Young Bond series, By Royal Command by Charlie Higson has been released today in hardcover form in the UK. If you didn’t pre-order it, you can go ahead and order it from Amazon.co.uk. I pre-ordered, but shipping to the US is quite a lengthy process.

On the horizon is the first Young Bond graphic novel, SilverFin with art by Kev Walker. That’s coming 2 October in the UK. The next release won’t come till April 7, 2009 when Hurricane Gold’s hardcover will be published in the United States. I suspect April 2010 will see the release of By Royal Command in the States. Other than that. Who knows. We’ll have to just wait and see.
