Ken Follett confirms he is not the continuation novel author

Best-selling author Ken Follett will not be the next official James Bond continuation author - according to Follett himself.

Responding to a query by James Bond newsgroup regular Mac, Follett said "I haven't been asked to write a James Bond book, but I'd probably say Yes. I think I would set it in the fifties."

Ian Fleming Publications previously announced a new James Bond continuation novel will be published in 2008 by a "big name" author yet to be revealed.

Ken Follett is the author of twelve international bestsellers, including The Pillars of the Earth, A Dangerous Fortune, A Place Called Freedom, and The Third Twin. He lives in London, England.
