Ian Fleming Publications Ltd has chosen international bestselling thriller writer, Jeffery Deaver, to write a new James Bond book. The novel is called CARTE BLANCHE and will be set in the present day. 'In the world of espionage, giving an agent carte blanche on a mission comes with an enormous amount of trust and constantly tests both personal and professional judgement. Part of the nonstop suspense in the novel is the looming question of what is acceptable in matters of national and international security. Are there lines that even James Bond should not cross? 'The novel will maintain the persona of James Bond as Fleming created him and the unique tone the author brought to his books, while incorporating my literary trademarks: detailed research, fast pacing and surprise twists.' - Jeffery Deaver CARTE BLANCHE takes place in the present day over a short period of time, and sees Bond visit three or four exotic locations around the globe, one of which is Dubai.

Among the high-end marques of crime, Deaver ranks in the Bentley Continental class: a sleek, fast and supremely well-engineered suspense machine ... Deaver has stylishly fulfilled his brief. Independent The most impressive feature of CARTE BLANCHE is the ingenuity of the breathless, blood-thirsty plot ... Kingsley Amis, John Gardner and Sebastian Faulks are among those who have tried to bring Bond back to life. Deaver, though, is in a class of his own: nobody's done it better. Evening Standard 'Top US thriller writer Jeffery Deaver has brought Bond bang up to date ... CARTE BLANCHE has it all.' **** Sun '[A] gripping modern thriller ... Bond fans will enjoy Deaver's slightly mischievous take on Ian Fleming. Deaver fans will enjoy the taut plotting and the action scenes and, by the way, it is going to make a great movie.' ***** Daily Express 'CARTE BLANCHE promises to be fast-paced, packed with twists and turns as torturous as any Bond car chase.' The Times '[James Bond] lives on in the skillful hands of a suspense superstar.' www.newsweek.com 'I was agreeably surprised at how much I enjoyed CARTE BLANCHE, probably the best Bond continuation novel since Fleming's death nearly half a century ago. Deaver combines the best of Fleming's crisp, eclectic style without compromising his own ability to tell a cracking story.' Literary Review Deaver delivers more twists than a 1960s prom dance and the plot pounds along at a breathless pace Financial Times 'Deaver's writing is very much like Fleming's ... kept me turning pages.' Irish Times 'Deaver's enthusiasm for Bond comes through on every page and puts the gift for plotting that has garnered him such massive popularity to superb use here. So CARTE BLANCHE is excellent fun, a great read and Jeffery Deaver has breathed new life into an old favourite.' Sunday Express 'Brings 007 bang up to date ... It's also thrilling and genuinely surprising like most of thriller king Deaver's novels. If they turn this into the next 007 film (after the one that comes out in 2012), it'll be great.' **** Heat 'Set over six action-packed days, this is a tightly wound thriller that crackles at break-neck speed ... the Bond legacy is in safe hands.' News of the World 'Deaver's immaculate sense of pace comes into its own. It's hard to imagine anyone not being impressed by this novel' Independent on Sunday 'Top US thriller writer Jeffery Deaver and iconic spy James Bond prove to be an irresistible combination ... In an interview last year Deaver promised his book would be "a clever story, with some very good twists and surprises" and he has certainly delivered.' Daily Express Deaver gets his cultural references pretty well spot-on, and the dialogue is impressively free of stray Americanisms Mail on Sunday Deaver writes crime fiction - thrillers you want to race through - and he's bloody good ... If he was real, 007 would be a Deaver fan The Big Issue [Jeffery Deaver] would have done Fleming proud ... Deaver's customary storytelling expertise is handsomely on display The Good Book Guide Wrestling with the contemporary issues of bureaucracy and privacy, CARTE BLANCHE brings Bond into the present day, and the result is a very enjoyable, action-laden thriller Woman's Weekly
