The book is now a fabulous audiobook narrated by Stuart W. Howard. The novel was also recently published in Poland in 2026.

Raymond has also been busy doing other projects… some ghostwriting, mostly, and unfortunately he can’t talk about that. For now, though, here is a reminder of other recent works that have made some splashes over the last year or two…
JAMES BOND: THE RAYMOND BENSON YEARS is an e-book anthology that contains all six of Raymond’s original James Bond novels. These books were originally published between 1997 and 2002 and are now collected together in digital form for the first time and at a nice price.
Published by Ian Fleming Publications, the e-book can be found at most retail outlets, but you can order it here from the James Bond Books page!

In the meantime, his other recent novels like BLUES IN THE DARK, IN THE HUSH OF THE NIGHT, THE SECRETS ON CHICORY LANE, HOTEL DESTINY: A GHOST NOIR, the five-book serial, THE BLACK STILETTO, and other titles are all still available. Find them on the Books pages (James Bond; The Black Stiletto; Fiction & Non-Fiction; Tie-Ins)! Many titles go on sale as e-books at various times. It’s always best to follow Raymond’s Facebook and Twitter posts to take advantage of these sales. PLEASE NOTE THE FACEBOOK FEED ON THE HOME PAGE FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES!
