JAMES BOND
NEWS

With the publication rights to the James Bond novels now held by Ian Fleming Publications, last year they worked with HarperCollins US to take on the challenge of recording brand new audio editions of all of the author's classic 007 adventures. IFP collaborated with narrators including Richard Armitage (CASINO ROYALE), Adjoa Andoh (LIVE AND LET DIE), Mark Gatiss (FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE) and many others. The new recordings were revealed in the United States throughout 2024, and Ian Fleming Publications are now releasing all fourteen James Bond books (plus Fleming’s non-fiction titles Thrilling Cities and The Diamond Smugglers) in the UK on January 29, 2025. The new recordings are available to buy direct from Ian Fleming Publications, and other online audiobook platforms.

A launch event was held at The Tophams Hotel, Ebury Street in London's Belgravia, next door to Flat 22B where Ian Fleming lived in his formative years in the late 1930s. An English Heritage Blue Plaque was erected at the site of the James Bond author's former home in 1996. The launch event for the audiobooks was attended by Mark Gatiss, Jon Culshaw and Genevieve Gaunt [pictured below], who narrated three of the new editions.
