0013 Interview Charlie Higson
‘What’s your name, boy?’ ‘Bond, James Bond.’ ‘James Bond - sir.’ ‘Yes. Sorry, sir.’ In July 2018 Don had a chat with Charlie Higson, author of the first five Young Bond books. Their interview was originally conducted for the podcast of James Bond Netherlands, but is now shamelessly re-published for the 00 Files. Charlie’s first Young Bond adventure is SilverFin, published in 2005. The story is set in 1933 and we meet thirteen-year-old James Bond, who is sent to Eton. James gets involved with a diabolical plot, in which a larger-than-life villain threatens to change the nature of modern warfare... The book, both a critical and commercial success, was swiftly followed by BloodFever (2006), Double Or Die (2007), Hurricane Gold (2007) and By Royal Command (2008). The podcast starts with a short clip from the audiobook SilverFin, narrated by Nathaniel Parker. Please follow us on social media (search for The 00 Files) and share our podcast with others.
