A self-confessed Fleming fan, Horowitz found great success with his Alex Rider books, which referenced and paid homage the James Bond novels, and whose prose could be described as Flemingesque. Certainly, Horowitz looked like the perfect choice on paper. So, when Anthony Horowitz was announced as the latest author to take up the reins, there were mixed feelings. However, it is fair to say that not all of these novels generated the most positive reviews or found favour with the fan base. From Sebastian Faulks to William Boyd, each has had a pedigree in the spy-thriller genre, each having their own dedicated followers, and all have an affection for the writing of Ian Fleming. Ever since the announcement of Sebastian Faulks as the author of 2008's "Devil May Care", released to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth, the choice of the next James Bond continuation author has stirred the interest of fans and literary critics alike.
