MI6’s Double O section is in pieces. Moneypenny is captured. Agents have switched sides. And Rattenfanger’s plans for hijacking the cyber-intelligence of the West are finally about to be realised.

Publisher Review

‘Ian Fleming’s trademarks are all there – the fine food, the brutal action, the awful villains – but Kim Sherwood has managed to propel (the still effortlessly cool) Bond, Moneypenny and the rest of the Double Os into a razor-sharp, contemporary world. Highly recommended’ M.W. Craven

‘Tough, smart and thrilling. Just like 007 himself’ Charlie Higson

‘Hurricane Room explodes into action with a Lazarus-like Bond back in harness, crashing from location to location with his Double O partner, in a race-against-the-clock bid to thwart a terrifying attack on western civilisation. Sherwood skillfully weaves together the characters and story arcs of the previous novels in this climactic finale, presenting us with a propulsive plot and a James Bond who, for once, does not have to fight alone nor choose between head and heart. A fitting finale to a superb Bond (spinoff) trilogy’ Vaseem Khan

‘To pick up the baton of one of Britain’s most well-loved characters is hard enough, and to do that showing you understand that character and that world inside and out is even harder. But to invigorate and re-invent that world so it feels both as old as time and fresh and new – that is a major achievement. Just incredibly impressive’ John Yorke

Praise for Kim Sherwood

‘A boldly innovative James Bond novel…remarkable’ Sunday Times

‘The plotting was adroit, the cameo appearances by old acquaintances welcome, and the escapist tone coolly embraced’ The Times

‘Stylish, explosive, fresh and fun, Kim Sherwood takes one of the world’s most beloved series and makes it her own’ Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End

‘Bang up to date and action-packed, Kim Sherwood has taken the world of James Bond and turned it on its head’ Charles Cumming, author of BOX 88

‘Unshackled from the burden of fidelity to Fleming’s character, her book feels a lot freer and more spontaneous than the more conventional Bond continuation novels, while still managing to capture something of Fleming’s rollicking spirit’ Telegraph
