Charlie Higson
In collaboration with Ian Fleming Publications Ltd., King Zero is a brand-new blockbuster James Bond novel from Charlie Higson—bestselling author of the Young Bond series.
Le Chiffre. Dr. No. Goldfinger. James Bond has faced them all. But now the world is changing, and even 007 has no idea what’s coming for him …
It starts with a murdered agent in the Saudi desert. Only a traitor could have known enough to bring him down. But even James Bond can’t guess at the secret that was worth killing him to keep. As Bond follows the trail across the globe, he doesn’t realize the countdown has already begun. And hiding in the shadows is a man with more power than he could ever have imagined.
Prepare for a villain unlike any before.
Prepare for King Zero.

“Charlie Higson’s 007 is back on His Majesty’s Secret Service in King Zero. As a guy who knows a bit about that, it’s a cracking read.”
(George Lazenby)“A brilliant addition to the James Bond canon, written with great brio and aplomb and a shrewd understanding of what makes the Bond universe tick. Wholly compelling.”
(William Boyd, bestselling author of Any Human Heart and Cold Sunset)“Charlie Higson hasn’t just seamlessly picked up the Ian Fleming baton, he’s sprinted so far into the distance with it we can barely see his heels. King Zero is proper old-school Bond but with a modern edge (Bond on Spotify, anyone?)—violent, stylish, scarily plausible. And in King Zero, Higson has created the most memorable Bond villain for a long time, one who sits comfortably alongside Goldfinger, Dr. No, and Hugo Drax…A superb book and highly recommended.”
(M. W. Craven, bestselling author of the Washington Poe series)“A contemporary, cutting-edge take on 007…If it’s been a while since readers have taken a look at a new Bond book, or perhaps have never read a Bond book, King Zero will be a great starting place.”
(Men’s Journal)“Achingly exciting, desperately compelling, and, at times, utterly jaw-dropping, King Zero is nothing short of an electrifying triumph—and up there with the very best of this beloved series.”
(Rob Parker, bestselling author of The Troubled Deep)“King Zero: Holy mackerel, that second half is one of the most page-turning, stay-up-and-finish second halves of any Bond novel!”
(Raymond Benson, author of The Hook and the Eye)“The good news about King Zero is that you don’t need to have read a single James Bond novel ever to enjoy this adventure. If this is your introduction to the world of literary Bond, you’ll be more than happy, and certainly shaken and stirred.”
(Men’s Journal)“Higson writes for speed…Spy fiction by a master of this particular formula.”
