In partnership with Ian Fleming Publications Ltd, the UK audio drama producer has unveiled Young Bond, a new series of full-cast audio dramas exploring the teenage years of James Bond – long before the tuxedos, martinis and licence to kill.
Originally published in 2005, SilverFin introduced readers to Bond as a 13-year-old schoolboy at Eton, uncovering a mystery during a holiday in Scotland. The new audio version will retell that story across 16 half-hour episodes.
Author Charlie Higson, who wrote the original Young Bond novels, is consulting on the audio series. "I'm very excited that my Young Bond books will be given fresh life as fully dramatised audio adventures," said Higson. "As we eagerly anticipate the new film, James Bond returns in audio, hopefully introducing him to a new generation."
"Eager to discover more, I found that my father had all the books and devoured them. How I would have loved to have had a Young Bond series to read – and now listen to – when I was a boy. Fifty years later I am delighted and honoured that Ian Fleming Publications has entrusted these stories with Big Finish to tell. Let the adventures begin!"
