On November 25th a new paperback was released by Kadokawa called Tiger Tanaka (part 1) by Keisuke Matsuoka. From the press release: "Japan's first full-fledged 007 sequel! A sequel to Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice, this work resolves the mysteries and contradictions of the original. It also has the aspect of a modern history mystery set in Japan. James Bond, who has disappeared in Fukuoka, is pursued by Tiger Tanaka, the head of the public security, and his daughter Toran. This must-read epic thriller that has captured the attention of the whole world is here, depicting the entire mysterious six months of Bond's life in a suspenseful manner!"
And Part 1, as presented. My positive outlook says a version in English will come available. Even Kindle, maybe.
Believe this delves into the public domain realm. And I'll seek out a copy on those terms.
Wow, I very much want this book.
On Topic: Not very creative, but I'd love for Horowitz to keep doing it. Although I suppose he isn't going to.
I also want this book. I know it's technically public domain, but I wonder if IFP will truly say anything about it, or buy it for their own publication rights. Maybe @Revelator can help explain the legal rights? I agree @RichardTheBruce I will see if I can get a copy of this, considered official Bond or not. Also, @NickTwentyTwo it would be interesting for Horowitz to come back, but I think he and IFP wanted change, in more ways than one. I still hope for Charles Cumming or Charlotte Philby.
My understanding is if you're "in country" you can purchase them. Seeking to purchase online it's expected a shipping address is to one of those countries that observes the public domain status.
I'm also seeing self-published materials on Amazon, so the status can become confusing.
I may test the waters.
