We get lectures on climate change, capitalism, colonialism, as though Sherwood is determined to use this opportunity to tell us all how the world should be. Even having to include or mention these characters in the book , seemingly to please an audience is in itself out dated. Ovviamente in Italia non si pubblica più la saga di 007 grazie a editori miopi e che cercano più di fregare gli autori italiani che proporre cose interessanti.

It was longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize and shortlisted for the Author’s Club Best First Novel Pick. The reveal and cliffhanger ending has me on the edge of my seat for the next entry in this planned trilogy.

It takes a long time to get going, there’s an awful lot going on as it switches from one OO agent to another which it makes it feel disjointed.Sherwood's debut novel Testament, published in 2018, won the Bath Novel Award, was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Award, shortlisted for the Author's Club Best First Novel, and won the Harpers’ Bazaar Big Book Award. Kim Sherwood is an author and creative writing lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, where she lives in the city. The setup is that James Bond has been captured or killed and the rest of the Double 00's have to solve the world crises in his place, while also seeking clues as to his fate. Double Or Nothing is the first in a trilogy of novels, licenced by Ian Fleming Publications, featuring agents from the Double O section.
