Devil May Care Update
3rd March 2008
With 85 days until its
release, publicity for the upcoming release of the new
James Bond continuation novel "Devil
May Care" has shifted up a gear.
US Cover Artwork
Today, the cover artwork for the US edition
of Sebastian Faulks' novel (pictured opposite) was released
via EW.com.
'The idea,'' Faulks told EW last summer,
when the deal was announced, ''was that it should read
as though Fleming had written it.''
Its ready for worldwide release on
May 28th - the day on which Fleming would have turned
100.
Plot details are under embargo, but this
exclusive
sneak peek of the jacket art reveals a shadowy, well-coiffed,
and tuxedo-ed James Bond figure on the spine, indicating
fans could be in for an old-school treat.

Theme Song - Voting Begins
For one week only, MySpace users and James Bond
fans will have the rare chance to be part of 007’s history
by choosing the next Bond theme tune, for the eagerly awaited
new Bond novel by Sebastian Faulks, Devil May Care. From today
(Monday 3rd March 2008), after careful deliberation by a panel
of expert judges, the shortlist
to Penguin’s first ever audio book soundtrack competition
using MySpace has been revealed.
Over the past month, hundreds of musicians have
submitted original work through the
book’s MySpace profile in the hope their track would
be chosen as the official theme tune to Devil May Care. The shortlisted

MySpace is urging users to go
to the site to listen to the shortlist and submit
their vote. The winner will then be announced on the
profile on 17th March.
The shortlist of entries were selected
by a judging panel, which includes the book’s author,
Sebastian Faulks along with respected figures from the
world of literature and music, including cult music producer
Jazzie B and Matthew Fleming, great nephew of original
Bond author Ian Fleming. Dom Cook, Head of Music for MySpace
UK and Alex Clarke, editor of Devil May Care were also
judges.
Dom Cook, Head of Music for MySpace UK, comments: “With
more than 500 entries, the quality of work has been amazing
and it’s been a hard task to pick just five. However,
the choices have been made and there is just one week to
vote for the winner!”
Alex Clarke, Penguin Editor of Devil May Care commented,
'We were overwhelmed with the entries and really impressed
with the standard. It was hard to choose just 5 favourites
but we are thrilled with the result. Now it's out of our
hands and up to the public!'

This will be the first theme tune to accompany a James Bond
book and will later be made available as a free digital download
via Penguin (penguin.co.uk) and iTunes.
