"Project X" to be a New James Bond Novel

What was discovered only a week ago by Fleming and James Bond fans on the author's fan created website was only known as Project X. Now, it's revealed that it is a new James Bond novel, penned by American novelist Jeffrey Deaver.

Thoughts? Title suggestions? Do you think Mr Deaver will live up to the standards or Fleming?

not only a master of the contemporary American thriller but could also write compelling novels of period suspense within a European setting.

Project X will be set in the present day. Jeffery Deaver has started work on the book and his title is yet to be revealed.

Surely this is the perfect excuse to fire Pervert & Waste now, plus any drama luvvie co-writers they've got on board. By the time this book turns up, the next Bond film could be about to roll. Adapt the novel and put the thriller back into Bond.

That's providing that the novel is good though. Oh and I love the avatar, Lazenby.

I just really want one of those "complex, but you can understand it and even love it after a couple more viewings" plots such as TLD and even OP again. The central plots themselves seem to have been lacking as far as ratcheting up real suspense and intrigue goes for such a long time now.

Yep, the avatar is bang on cue I'd say. She looks good at keeping the tip up, plus she'd definitely need the rest later on if I had my way. ;) :oops:

I haven't really been following this book, but is "Project X" just the working title or is it official?

It's called Carte Blanche.
