FOREVER AND A DAY - Anthony Horowitz
A spy is dead. A legend is born.
This is the story of the birth of a legend, in the
brutal underworld of the French Riviera.
When we began working on the cover design for Forever and a Day, so
many icons and ideas came to mind, with such a wealth of imagery associated
with Bond we looked at a huge variety of options. A boat plays a major part in
the plot of the book and we considered images of motor yachts in the Riviera
but they tended to look too much like a travel brochure. We looked at
photographs of yachts taken from odd and unexpected angles, and when we found
images from above, the idea of it resembling a bullet suddenly clicked. The
design uses well-known Bond iconography but also hints at the plot of Forever
and a Day. Underneath the jacket we have echoed the design with a gold
bullet and clear foil wake.
Anthony Horowitz’s new James Bond novel Forever and a Day, the explosive prequel to Casino Royale, is published today by Jonathan Cape.
