In case you haven’t already seen the latest James Bond movie, No Time To Die, we won’t give away any spoilers. Needless to say, however, fans have been left with something of a superspy void – at least in the short term.

So, after all the build-up and excitement leading up to Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007, how do we fill the gap that has been left? Who will come and save us all from evil masterminds and foreign agents intent on taking us all down?

The answer may well come in the form of a diminutive, bespectacled bureaucrat, an Intelligence Analyst who is drawn into a dastardly plot to strike at the heart of the UK…

Brand new UK publishing house, Brindle Books Ltd have announced the imminent release of their debut title, a spy thriller with a new take on the classic secret agent format. The company have also released a dramatic book trailer on YouTube to promote the release.

Richard Hinchliffe, the Director of Brindle Books Ltd says: “We’re very excited about the release of our first title, Normanby, by P G Dixon, and we’re sure that the book will provide a much needed fix for spy fans, post-Bond.

“Although, and the book itself is probably better described as an IPCRESS File for the twenty-first century, and the central character differs in many ways from 007,  he is perfectly placed to become an iconic British spy hero.”

Normanby by P G Dixon will be released in eBook form from Amazon, Kobo, Nook and all other good ebook platforms from 12^th December 2021. The eBook version is already available for pre-order.  From the same release date, Normanby will also be available in paperback (ISBN: 978-1-7398648-1-1).
