So, O-O-7 is dead.

Yes, sir, I'm afraid so.

A spy is dead, but long live James Bond.

Hello, today Anthony Horowitz on the rebirthing of a legend

and further adventurous spirits in the shape of Hernando Colon, who sailed the world in pursuit

of literature, plus a rare insight into Romanian literature in our reading clinic. But first,

Anthony Horowitz, who's been given the rare honour of returning to

pen a second Bond adventure on the request of the Fleming estate and following on from the

success of his 2015 bestseller Trigormortus. In reimagining 007's missions, he follows in

some pretty august footsteps. Sebastian Folks, William Boyd and Kingley Amos have

all penned new adventures for the world's most famous spy. So how does a writer, successful in his

own career, set a mat slipping into the shoes of such an iconic predecessor? Anthony Horowitz

exploring the formation of his character offer you? Well, it's just a great entry into the canon.
