Our friends at Disney Publishing inform us that Charlie Higson’s fourth Young Bond novel, Hurricane Gold, will be released in the U.S. on April 7, 2009. It possible the date could “change slightly,” but at the moment, that is the plan.

Having taken a year break, Disney’s Hyperion Books for Children is set to release Book 3, Double or Die, next month. The hardcover sports spectacular new cover art by artist Kev Walker. Says author Charlie Higson, “Double or Die is a new start for Young Bond in the states and I’m very excited about its release.”
