    From SpyVibe:

    On November 25th a new paperback was released by Kadokawa called Tiger Tanaka (part 1) by Keisuke Matsuoka. From the press release: "Japan's first full-fledged 007 sequel! A sequel to Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice, this work resolves the mysteries and contradictions of the original. It also has the aspect of a modern history mystery set in Japan. James Bond, who has disappeared in Fukuoka, is pursued by Tiger Tanaka, the head of the public security, and his daughter Toran. This must-read epic thriller that has captured the attention of the whole world is here, depicting the entire mysterious six months of Bond's life in a suspenseful manner!"

    That's pretty remarkable @Revelator and welcome.

    And Part 1, as presented. My positive outlook says a version in English will come available. Even Kindle, maybe.

    Believe this delves into the public domain realm. And I'll seek out a copy on those terms.

    Wow, I very much want this book.

    On Topic: Not very creative, but I'd love for Horowitz to keep doing it. Although I suppose he isn't going to.

    I also want this book. I know it's technically public domain, but I wonder if IFP will truly say anything about it, or buy it for their own publication rights. Maybe @Revelator can help explain the legal rights? I agree @RichardTheBruce I will see if I can get a copy of this, considered official Bond or not. Also, @NickTwentyTwo it would be interesting for Horowitz to come back, but I think he and IFP wanted change, in more ways than one. I still hope for Charles Cumming or Charlotte Philby.

    It was reported in addition to Canada, the ability to publish new James Bond novels or stories includes Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and Thailand. That's under the public domain “life plus 50” rule of copyright duration.

    My understanding is if you're "in country" you can purchase them. Seeking to purchase online it's expected a shipping address is to one of those countries that observes the public domain status.

    I'm also seeing self-published materials on Amazon, so the status can become confusing.


    I may test the waters.

    If one of you goes through the trouble of attaining and even translating even parts of it, I will be forever grateful.
