Young Bond is a series of
young adult spy novels featuring
Ian Fleming's
secret agent James Bond as a young teenage boy attending school at
Eton College in the 1930s. The series, written by
Charlie Higson, was originally planned to include only five novels; however, after the release of the fifth novel, Higson considered the possibility of a second series. In October 2013 it was confirmed that a second series of four novels was in development, with the first novel due for release in Autumn 2014, but it would be penned by
Steve Cole while Higson continued work on his young adult zombie series,
The Enemy.
