Bill Koenig and Javi Trujillo are joined by writer and Bond expert Mark Edlitz, author of Keeping 007 Alive: Conversations with James Bond Continuation Authors (and other books), for an in-depth look at the world of continuation novels.
They ask: what challenges do authors face when stepping into Ian Fleming’s shoes? What might Ian Fleming Publications' current strategy tell us about the direction of the literary Bond? And who stands out as the most successful continuation author so far?
Mark also shares his thoughts on the future of Bond in print — and when we might next see a traditional, mid-30s 007 back on a mission. Will it be a period piece, or brought into the modern day?
Recorded in the USA on 17th June 2025.
