James Bond returns in the final installment of Kim Sherwood’s thrilling Double O Trilogy, and he must team up with the rest of the Double O Section to stop a threat from inside the agency itself. Bond is alive But after mental and physical torture at the hands of Colonel Mora, the diabolical head of private military company Rattenfänger, 007 is not the same man he once was. Has the unbreakable agent finally been broken? Or is MI6’s most lethal spy simply waiting for the right moment to exact revenge? Johanna Harwood, 003, has made it her mission to convince him to trust her again, because MI6 needs their deadliest weapon now more than ever... There’s a traitor inside the gates Bond may be back, but the Double O division is barely holding on. Conrad Harthrop-Vane, 000, has turned traitor. He has been systematically taking out his fellow agents right under the noses of those in power, and now he has abducted Moneypenny. To make matters worse, he may have had help from inside the organization. Joseph Dryden, 004, is left to hold down the fort in Moneypenny’s absence, but enemies are closing in on all sides. The final showdown is about to begin Rattenfänger is planning a cyberattack on an unimaginable scale— one that would sever the internet, leaving the Western world at Mora’s mercy. It’s up to Bond, the rest of the Double O’s, and a few other trusted allies to unmask the traitors working with Mora. Can they save the world—and the soul of 007? “ Hurricane Room is… an absolute stunner…. A number of writers have worked in the Bond universe, but readers should rank Sherwood near (or perhaps at) the top of the list: her novels feature superb writing, brilliantly conceived stories, and a Bond unlike any Bond we’ve seen before. A magnificent conclusion to a wonderful trilogy.” - Booklist “This finale has all the Bond hallmarks… 007 diehards will appreciate the Easter eggs Sherwood scatters throughout.” - Publishers Weekly “More than an addition to the [Bond] canon,  Double or Nothing  is an expansion of the universe, and an exploration of how the Bond archetype can be channeled into other characters. . . In this subtle but refreshing way, Sherwood manages to shift the perspective. . . What if Bond were Black? What if Bond were a woman? Would that change anything about the essential Bond-ness of Bond? And if not, then what are we waiting for?” - Washington Post "Sherwood delivers all the hallmarks of a Bond novel, including a complex plot replete with double-crossing and exotic settings, plenty of Easter eggs for Ian Fleming fans, crackling prose... and a jaw-dropping conclusion. Readers will be on tenterhooks until the final installment.”  - Publishers Weekly “This modern-day approach to the world of Bond takes familiar characters and story elements and does new and rather wonderful things with them… This familiar-but-new world of Bond is precisely detailed and beautifully imagined, and Bond fans will certainly love the book even if their favorite super-spy is not the focus of the story.” - Booklist “Filled with characters so real we feel we know them, the novel races through its surprising plot twists like an Aston Martin in high gear. Get this book and clear your calendar—though it won’t be for long; I read it in one sitting.”  - Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel “[ Double or Nothing ]   delivers   a thrilling experience on various levels, both honoring tradition and pushing forward into uncharted territory. It promises to offer greater diversity across a new generation of superspies; updates to familiar characters and elements; and a bit of contemporary thematic urgency . . . Sherwood, acutely aware of the traditions she’s working within, knows how to call out the usual and re-energize it . . . I’ve got my eye eagerly on Sherwood’s second   Double O book, thrilled by what she’s accomplished in  Double or Nothing  and ready to follow her wherever she goes next.” - Washington Independent Review of Books “There are plenty of things in this outstanding thriller that will be familiar to Bond fans, while at the same time Sherwood introduces some new elements that make the environment feel fresh and just a little bit different. . . It’s the first of a projected trilogy, and volume two cannot come soon enough.” - Booklist on Double or Nothing “This entertaining James Bond pastiche, the authorized first in a projected trilogy, from British author Sherwood ( Testament ) introduces a diverse team of new 00 agents. . . [A] refreshing update on the venerable franchise. . .Readers will be curious to see what’s next for her team in book two.” - Publishers Weekly on Double or Nothing “Blistering, breakneck, brilliant. Sherwood's first Double O novel delivers everything you could want and more from a high-octane, high-stakes spy thriller. The world of Bond is in expert hands.”  - Tim Glister, author of Red Corona “Stylish, explosive, fresh and fun, Kim Sherwood takes one of the world’s most
