Excerpt: Deaver's Carte Blanche, which is published tomorrow, updates Bond for the 21st century. Authorised by the Fleming family, it sees the spy, "a man of serious face and hunter's demeanour", just returned from Afghanistan and recruited to a new agency which operates independently of MI5, MI6 and the Ministry of Defence, "its very existence deniable. Its aim: to protect the Realm, by any means necessary."
In the confessional. Never read any of the books. Still prefer the Sean Connery movies, though I'll admit that Daniel Craig fits the "man of serious face and hunter's demeanour" description to a T.
