Praise for Kim Sherwood ‘A boldly innovative James Bond novel…remarkable’ Sunday Times ‘A clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon. Filled with characters so real we feel we know them, the novel races through its surprising plot twists like an Aston Martin in high gear’ Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel '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 ‘Moves at whip-crack speed…plenty of action and snappy dialogue’ Financial Times 'Fast, sassy fun, this is Fleming for the 21st century’ Monocle 'An evocative and thrilling addition to the James Bond canon' The Conversation ‘A cleverly plotted and absorbing novel with a fantastic cast of fully rounded characters’ Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Innocent One ‘Blistering, breakneck, brilliant…a high-octane, high-stakes spy thriller’ Tim Glister, author of Red Corona

‘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. And that’s what Kim Sherwood has done with James Bond and her Double O saga. Just incredibly impressive’ John Yorke '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 Praise for Kim Sherwood ‘A boldly innovative James Bond novel…remarkable’ Sunday Times ‘A clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon.
