Official Book Description (Penguin)
Bond is back with a license to thrill. Forty-three years ago, Ian Fleming wrote
his last great 007 adventure. Now, in Devil May Care, the world’s most iconic
spy returns in a Cold War story spanning the world’s exotic locations. By
invitation of the Fleming estate to mark the centenary of his birth, acclaimed
novelist Sebastian Faulks picks up where Fleming left off, writing a tour de
force that will electrify every James Bond fan. A fitting tribute to the Bond
tradition, Devil May Care stands on its own as a triumph of witty prose and
plenty of double-0 action.
“One day, Bond, I will make as many
heroin addicts in Britain as Britain made in China. You’ll become the third
world country you deserve to be.” -- Villain Julius Gorner

Biography Himself
Sebastian Faulks was born on 20 April 1953 and was educated at
Wellington College and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was the first
literary editor of The Independent and became deputy editor of the Independent
on Sunday before leaving in 1991 to concentrate on writing. He has
been a columnist for The Guardian (1992-8) and the Evening
Standard (1997-9). He continues to contribute articles and reviews to
a number of newspapers and magazines. He wrote and presented the Channel 4
Television series 'Churchill's Secret Army', screened in 1999. He is a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
His first novel, A Trick of the Light, was published in 1984. His
other novels include The Girl at the Lion d'Or (1989), set in
France between the First and Second World Wars, and the bestselling Birdsong
(1993), the story of a young Englishman called Stephen Wraysford and his
harrowing experiences fighting in northern France during the First World
War. The main narrative is intercut with scenes from the life of Stephen's
granddaughter, Elizabeth, a young woman living in the 1970s who travels to
France to discover more about her grandfather's life. The Fatal
Englishman: Three Short Lives (1996) is a multiple biography of the
lives of the artist Christopher Wood, airman Richard Hillary and spy
Jeremy Wolfenden.
His fifth novel, Charlotte Gray (1998), completes the loose trilogy
of books about France with an account of the adventures of a young
Scottish woman who becomes involved with the French resistance during the
Second World War. A film adaptation of the novel, starring Cate Blanchett,
was first screened in 2002. His next novel, On Green Dolphin Street
(2001), is a love story set against the backdrop of the Cold War. Human
Traces, a book set in the 19th century and telling the tale of two
friends who set up a pioneering asylum, was published in 2005. His latest
novel is Engleby (2007). He has recently written Devil May
Care, a new James Bond novel commissioned by the Ian Fleming estate
to mark the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth in 2008.
Pistache(2006) is a collection of parodies and pastiches,
mostly from BBC Radio 4's The Write Stuff.
Sebastian Faulks lives with his wife and three children in London. He
was awarded the CBE in 2002.
Bond är tillbaka. För 42 år sedan skrev Ian Fleming sin sista
roman om agent 007, James Bond. Nu återvänder världens mest berömde
fiktive spion i I djävulens tjänst, ett kalla kriget-äventyr
vars handling för läsaren till exotiska platser över hela världen. Ian
Flemings arvtagare har bett den högt ansedde romanförfattaren Sebastian
Faulks att ta över där Flemings berättelse slutade.
Resultatet är ett mästerverk som kommer att slå varje James
Bond-fan med häpnad. Men I djävulens tjänst är mer än
bara en hyllning till Bonds historia, det är en modern thriller som står
på egna ben med sin snärtiga prosa och massvis av 007-action.
Sebastian Faulks fick sitt internationella genombrott med romanen Fågelsång,
som kom på svenska 1999. Den följdes av ytterligare tre stora romaner, Charlotte
Gray, På Green Dolphin Street och En människas spår. Charlotte
Gray har också blivit en uppmärksammad film.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
JAMES BOND & IAN FLEMING A Quiz
Q: Although James Bond is regarded by many as the quintessential
English hero, he is actually not English. What is his nationality in the
books? A: He is half Scottish and half Swiss. He also hates that most English
of drinks, tea - and describes it as 'mud'!
Q: Bond has had many famous incarnations on the big screen but, prior
to these, he was first played on the radio by which British actor and game
show host? A: Bob Holness of Blockbusters fame
Q: Which Bond villain shares a birthday with his creator? A: Ernst Stavro Blofeld. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
reveals that Blofeld was born on 28 May 1908. Ian Lancaster Fleming
entered the world on the same day at 7 Green Street in London.
Q: Which American President was a big fan of the Fleming novels? A: President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy was known to be a big fan of
Fleming and listed From Russia With Love as one of his top 10
favourite books. Bizarrely, both Kennedy and his assassin Lee Harvey
Oswald are believed to have been reading Bond novels the night before
Kennedy was killed.
Q: Which famed children’s author helped Ian Fleming adapt his
children's adventure story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the big
screen? A: Roald Dahl
Q: Where did Fleming write all his Bond books? A: At Goldeneye, his Jamaican home. Although now part of a luxurious
holiday resort, the house was very basic in Fleming's time - so much so
that his friend and neighbour Noel Coward referred to it as Goldeneye,
Nose and Throat!
Q: Although Ursula Andress wears the most famous bikini in cinema
history in her iconic performance in “Doctor No,” in Fleming's novel
of the same name the character Honeychile Rider wears even less. What does
she wear? A: She is naked save for a knife-belt.
Q: The first Bond novel, Casino Royale, originally had a
different title when it was published in the US. Under what title was it
initially published here? A: The initial title here was Too Hot To Handle.
Q: What is James Bond’s favorite meal? A: Breakfast. He has a particular penchant for scrambled eggs, and the
short story “007 in New York” even includes his own recipe for them.
Q: Who is Miss Moneypenny named for? A: Miss Moneypenny was named after a character in an unpublished novel
written by Ian Fleming's brother, the travel writer Peter Fleming

It is with the greatest delight that we present the Bentley Special Series
edition of Devil May Care. The ultimate in luxury editions
— this beautifully crafted book represents a unique alliance between two
of the world’s most iconic brands: James Bond and Bentley Motors.
Cars and James Bond have always had a special association — our
favourite spy is suitably famed for his fast cars and even faster driving.
Whether it’s in pursuit of an arch-nemesis or a beautiful woman, Bond is
always at home behind the wheel of a luxury sports car. Contrary to
popular belief however, Bond’s preference has historically been firmly
with Bentley Motors.
In the course of the fourteen original Bond novels, Fleming wrote of Bond
owning three Bentleys — the last of which was a Bentley R-type, which
Bond lovingly referred to as ‘the locomotive’. These were Bond’s
personal cars — the cars that Fleming thought most epitomized the
discernment and style of his hero. In Devil May Care, written by
Sebastian Faulks to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth, it
is fitting that Bond is found once again in the driving seat of his
favorite motor — the Bentley.
To mark this momentous occasion, the publishers approached the famous
Crewe firm to produce a Bentley edition of the book. This beautifully
crafted luxury edition is the result. Bringing together the design and
materials that epitomise the quality and craftsmanship of Bentley Motors,
this is the perfect celebration of the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth.
Only 300 copies of the Special Series edition will be produced worldwide,
with only 100 available in the US, costing $1500 each.
