In 2013 the William Boyd-written continuation novel "Solo" was released; it ignored Deaver's new timeframe and was set in 1969. In October 2014 it was announced that Anthony Horowitz was to write a further Bond book. The book is due to be set in the 1950s, and it contains material written, but previously unreleased, by Fleming. In 2005 author and comedian Charlie Higson released "SilverFin", the first of five novels

The novel addresses the issues of the aftermath of bombing, such as the spread of disease from lack of clean water, and what may be done to relieve the distress of those affected by it.
