Today we are thrilled to show you Kev Walker’s all-new cover art for the U.S. paperback edition of Charlie Higson’s SilverFin, due for release on March 10, 2009. (CLICK TO VIEW)

The book will also carry a new tagline on the back: “It looks like thirteen-year-old James Bond’s Easter holiday is over.”

Publisher Disney Hyperion (who we have to thank for this beautiful preview) decided to refresh the U.S. Young Bond covers following the very positive reaction to the hardcover Double or Die art. As you can see, the new SilverFin artwork matches Double or Die’s “Bond vs Villain” theme, as will the other new covers.

Speaking of the other covers, check back here on Monday for your first look at Kev Walker’s all-new artwork for Blood Fever!
