Quotes
“Charlie Higson’s 007 is back on His Majesty’s Secret Service in King Zero. As a guy who knows a bit about that, it’s a cracking read.”
“A brilliant addition to the James Bond canon, written with great brio and aplomb and a shrewd understanding of what makes the Bond universe tick. Wholly compelling.”
“Charlie Higson hasn’t just seamlessly picked up the Ian Fleming baton, he’s sprinted so far into the distance with it we can barely see his heels. King Zero is proper old-school Bond but with a modern edge (Bond on Spotify, anyone?)—violent, stylish, scarily plausible. And in King Zero, Higson has created the most memorable Bond villain for a long time, one who sits comfortably alongside Goldfinger, Dr. No, and Hugo Drax…A superb book and highly recommended.”
“A contemporary, cutting-edge take on 007…If it’s been a while since readers have taken a look at a new Bond book, or perhaps have never read a Bond book, King Zero will be a great starting place.”
“A great read for fans of detective tales (with) heart-pounding scenes that will keep readers turning the pages.”
“Achingly exciting, desperately compelling, and, at times, utterly jaw-dropping, King Zero is nothing short of an electrifying triumph—and up there with the very best of this beloved series.”
“King Zero: Holy mackerel, that second half is one of the most page-turning, stay-up-and-finish second halves of any Bond novel!”
“Faithful to the spirit and detail of Fleming’s original Bond.”
