Report from CAN:A new James Bond novel will be released worldwide on Wednesday, May 28 2008, in celebration of Ian Fleming’s 100th anniversary of his birth.
"Devil May Care" was penned by the award winning British novelist Sebastian Faulks at the request of the late author’s family.

A convoy will then deliver a consignment of "Devil May Care" to Waterstones in Piccadilly, where doors will open at 8am on Wednesday to sell the first copies.
"Devil May Care" features all the glamour, thrills, and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond. "My novel is meant to stand in the line of Fleming's own books, where the story is everything," said Faulks, who wrote the book in six weeks.
The release of the novel is just one of the events that are being held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Fleming’s birth.
