Ian Fleming\u00a0Publications has commissioned Young Bond series author\u00a0Charlie Higson\u00a0to write a new\u00a0James Bond\u00a0adventure to celebrate the coronation of\u00a0King Charles.<\/p>\n

The new 007 story, \u201cOn His Majesty\u2019s Secret Service,\u201d brings Bond into the present day. It is May 4, two days before the coronation of King Charles III. Bond is sent at the last minute to thwart an attempt to disrupt the coronation by the wealthy, eccentric and self-styled Athelstan of Wessex, who is on a deadly mission of his own to teach the United Kingdom a lesson. Bond must dismantle his shady plans and defeat his privately hired team of mercenaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn His Majesty\u2019s Secret Service\u201d will be published on May 4, ahead of the coronation on May 6 and 60 years after the publication of Fleming\u2019s 10th novel, \u201cOn Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service,\u201d in 1963. All royalties from sales of the book will support the work of the National Literacy Trust, an independent U.K. charity working with schools and communities to give disadvantaged children the literacy skills to succeed in life.<\/p>\n

Higson wrote five novels in the Young Bond series, which are young adult spy novels featuring Bond as a teenage boy attending school at Eton College in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

Higson said: \u201cWhen Ian Fleming Publications came to me with the idea of writing an adult Bond story a little more than a month ago I was thrilled \u2013 until I realised it had to be ready for the coronation in May. Getting it written and turned around in such a short space of time was going to be as tense and heart-pounding as any Bond mission. Although, of course, nobody would actually be shooting at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ve been thinking about writing an adult Bond adventure ever since working on the Young Bond books, and he came bursting out of me with both fists flying. It was all I could do to keep up with him and get his story down on paper. Fleming famously wrote fast, and I channelled that energy. And now it\u2019s so exciting for me to finally enter the world of grown-up Bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything you want from a Bond story is in there \u2013 sex, violence, cars, a colourful villain with a nasty henchman, and of course, Bond himself, so well-known and yet so unknowable,\u201d Higson added.<\/p>\n

Managing director of Ian Fleming Publications Corinne Turner said: \u201cThe coronation of King Charles III is a momentous occasion for the country. We asked ourselves how we at Ian Fleming Publications could celebrate it, and the answer seemed obvious. Ian Fleming\u2019s \u2018On Her Majesty\u2019s Secret Service\u2019 was first published on April 1. 1963. What better way, 60 years on, to mark this new chapter in history than with a brand new story: \u2018On His Majesty\u2019s Secret Service\u2019? We shared our thoughts with Charlie, and he was delighted to take on the challenge of writing a Bond adventure in time for publication in May.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ian Fleming Publications was in the news recently when it was revealed that the\u00a0James Bond novels were reedited to remove racist content.<\/p>\n
