I spy ... a brilliant thriller! Double or Nothing is a clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon. -Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel

The start of a brand-new trilogy following MI6´s Double O agents with a license to kill, that blows the world of James Bond wide open!

James Bond is missing...

007 has been captured-and perhaps killed-by a sinister private military company. His status unknown. MI6 will do everything in their power to recover their most lethal agent. But in the meantime, the rest of the Double O division has a job to do.

Meet the new generation of spies...

Johanna Harwood, 003. Joseph Dryden, 004. Sid Bashir, 009. They represent the very best and brightest of MI6. Supremely skilled, ruthless, with a license to kill, they will do anything to protect their country.

The fate of the world rests in their hands...

Tech billionaire Sir Bertram Paradise claims he has developed new cutting-edge technology capable of reversing climate change and saving the planet. But can his ambitious promises be trusted, and are his motives as noble as they appear? The new spies must uncover the truth because the stakes could not be higher for humanity... and for James Bond himself.

Time is running out.

[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 thriller´s center. - <strong><em>Sunday Times</em> (UK)</strong></p><p>If you´re looking for a great read that is as slick as it is smart, this book has it all. . . [Sherwood´s] done the impossible: Shake up Bond more than any previous reboot has, and make this universe feel urgently relevant to the 21st century, while at the same time capturing the one thing that makes it all so appealing - coolness. No matter what you read this year, nothing will make you feel cooler than <em>Double or Nothing.</em> - <strong>Fatherly</strong></p>
