What was your favourite book when you were growing up? And what would you recommend to me to read? I got into the Fleming books after watching A View To A Kill a few years later.įilm still of opening credits of View To A Kill from 1985, starring Roger Moore as James Bond. The first Bond movie I saw at cinemas was For Your Eyes Only when I was almost 10. My mum was a big fan of Roger Moore so we had lots of magazines and books with Bond on around the house. Yes, I had toys, and I loved watching the films on TV. There are bits of the different characters that remind me of people I’ve met and like and people I really don’t!ĭid you like James Bond when you were young? You can find out by reading Charlie’s By Royal Command Young Bond novel.ĭid you base any of the characters in Shoot to Kill on people you know? He’s 13 or 14 – Bond’s precise date of birth is subject to change as Ian Fleming himself altered it a few times! How old is your James Bond supposed to be in Shoot to Kill? So I have form with serious thrillers, but nothing is quite like Bond, so this was a great excuse to re-read my Ian Fleming 007 collection, as well as Charlie Higson’s Young Bonds. Well, actually, before the more light-hearted books I had written several young adult novels like the Wereling series and original Doctor Who books, and later I wrote the Thieves Like Us trilogy – but they were under the name Stephen Cole. This is very different from Astrosaurs and Aliens Stink.
