Puffin Books has released promotional art for Charlie Higson’s fifth Young Bond novel, By Royal Command. The mock cover reveals the title logo and the book’s tag line:

“James Bond. For King and country.”

Nice.

Puffin has also released a slightly expanded plot teaser:

“James is expecting his life to get back to normal when he returns to Eton from Mexico, but danger is never far away. And when his whole world explodes, he is forced to go on the run, pursued by enemy agents and the British authorities.

In an adventure that takes him from England to the chilling heights of the Austrian Alps, James must choose between friendship and duty. His life will never be the same again.”

By Royal Command will be released in the UK as a hardcover and audiobook on September 4, 2008.
