Word today that the estate of Ian Fleming has annointed Sebastian Faulks, probably best know as the author of Charlotte Gray, to write the next official James Bond novel. Faulks' book, to be called Devil May Care, will be published in May to coincide with the hundredth anniversary of Fleming's birth.

The Guardian also reports the news, along with a satirical excerpt from the new novel, a segment in which Bond stares down his arch-rival Jaws, a thinly veiled contemporary British writer obsessed with his teeth.--David E
