It is the 4th of May, two days before the Coronation of King Charles III and the world's favourite spy has his work cut out for him. Bond is sent at the last minute to thwart an attempt to disrupt the Coronation by the wealthy, eccentric and self-styled Athelstan of Wessex, who is on a deadly mission of his own to teach the United Kingdom a lesson. Can Bond dismantle his shady plans and defeat his privately hired team of mercenaries? Charlie Higson returns with a brand new Bond adventure. On His Majesty's Secret Service celebrates the Coronation of King III Charles and will be published on Thursday 4 May ahead of the Coronation on Saturday 6 May - 60 years after the publication of Ian Fleming's tenth novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, in 1963. All royalties from sales of the book will go to support the work of the UK charity, the National Literacy Trust.
