Penning Bond was a challenge, admits Faulks

AUTHOR Sebastian Faulks has admitted he found it a challenge to write a new James Bond story.

Faulks, best known for historic novels Birdsong and Charlotte Gray, said he had to change his style for the suave spy’s latest adventure.

The Bond novel, Devil May Care, was published yesterday to mark the centenary of the birth of 007’s creator Ian Fleming.
