Over in the UK the paperback edition of Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier has been published. This is the definitive guide to the Young Bond series by the series’ author Charlie Higson. In addition to in-depth profiles of all characters, cars, etc, you can also read the new short story “A Hard Man to Kill”. The hardcover was previously released in the UK on 29 October 2009.

A release date in the United States is currently unknown, but given that By Royal Command was just released, suspect somewhere around May 28, 2011.

Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier Published

K1Bond007 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:01:05 +0000

Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier by Charlie Higson has been published in the UK. The book is a definitive guide to the Young Bond series from the first novel, SilverFin (2005) to By Royal Command (2008), the supposed final novel. It comes with the all new short story by Higson “A Hard Man to Kill”.

The companion also includes in-depth profiles of the cars, the locations, the weapons, and the characters etc. The companion also has statistics, maps, photographs, and more illustrations by Kev Walker.

Make sure you get yours. If you consider the US is going to get By Royal Command in 2010 then this companion likely won’t hit these shores till 2011. But who can say for sure.

Young Bond Dossier Extract and Revised Cover

K1Bond007 — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:12:32 +0000

Thanks to the YoungBondDossier, we’re now aware that Puffin has released an extract of the upcoming Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier. You can download that in PDF form here. It shows off a 9mm Baretta, the dashboard of Bond’s Bentley, and a bio on Count Ugo Carnifax the villian of Blood Fever. You might also notice that they’ve slightly altered the book’s cover. (To see this, go to www.youngbond.com and click “Books”.) Now on the black strip the words “Top Secret” are much larger, color in the title’s logo is now gone and the title itself appears to have dropped “Danger Society”; an interesting move.

All in all, I think it looks great. The Young Bond Dossier will be published in the UK on 29 October and will include the original short story “A Hard Man to Kill” by Charlie Higson. Pre-order from Amazon.co.uk

I’ve been gone for the past few days so I’m playing catch up. You should be following Young Bond news at the Young Bond Dossier, but if you haven’t then check out these stories:

New Young Bond story preview in By Royal Command paperback
– It’s really unknown what the story will be as well as the title (though we have guessed), but we’re getting a preview of the upcoming Young Bond short story in the UK paperback edition of By Royal Command due on bookshelves on 28 May.
Kev Walker creating By Royal Command cover – Not Earth shattering news here, but it’s nice to know that Disney Hyperion is again looking to the great Kev Walker to kick out another cool Young Bond cover for us American Fans. It’s likely By Royal Command will be released around April 2010 which is the same timeframe that both Double or Die (April 2008) and Hurricane Gold (April 2009) got. Look for the Young Bond companion to hit US shelves likely in April 2011, but that’s just a guess.
