    So the 'big news' on Friday, apparently. Absolutely no reason to think it's anything to do with 007, but who knows.

    Yes, I noticed that a while ago myself. Here's hoping it's something adult Bond related. Remember him, IFP?

    It's not Bond :)

    He's releasing a book of his history podcast illustrated by Vic Reeves, which is pretty cool.

    I did wonder. I suppose there is a small link with Bond via OHM2S in that the research into the British monarchy for that podcast project ultimately fed into the plot of the novella? Who knows, maybe the Bond book will even get a brief mention somewhere? Anyway, Bond mention or not, I'll be purchasing a copy as soon as it's published. Illustrations by the brilliant Vic Reeves are a nice added selling point.

    I recently sent a message to James Rollins, to compliment him on his Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull novelization. I mentioned to him that some of us think he would be a good pick for a Bond continuation novel. He responded! He said that he wants to still write an original Indy adventure. Also, he would like to write an original Bond, as he is a fan of both the books and the movies. I would support him, he knows how to write an adventure!

    That's great that he replied to you. That doesn't always happen with authors so it's nice when they make the effort. Sounds like he could be a good bet for a Bond film novelisation if Eon ever deigns to do one of those again in the future! Or perhaps even an original Bond novel?

    Mr. Rollins' email response: Thanks for taking the time to write and for your generous comments! They’re most appreciated. I had a great time writing that Indy book, and I’d certainly be open to writing more. Same holds true for Mr. Bond. Huge fan of both the books and movies.

    I'd support him for both types of Bond adventures. I wish that IFP would go back to a yearly release of Bond novels. Even if it means different authors. Mr. Rollins truly would deserve at least a chance.

    I actually had no idea they still did novelizations of films. That's kind of heartwarming.

    Actually, I did ask him (and James Mangold on Twitter) why there was no Dial of Density novelization. Neither answered me. I feel that DOD deserved one to fit in with the other Indy movies, in another way. Also, there are still novelizations of movies out there, just not as noticed, honestly and sadly. [/quote]

    Weird coincidence i am currently reading The Last Oracle by James Rollins its good i wouldnt mind if he got a chance at writing 007
