On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, the new 007 novel DEVIL MAY CARE is launched in London with help from the Ministry of Defence.

Author Sebastian Faulks was accompanied by Model Tuuli Shipster, who features on the cover of the new James Bond continuation novel DEVIL MAY CARE. Wearing a poppy-red catsuit and escorted in a speedboat by The Royal Marines, Tuuli carried a specially commissioned Samsonite case containing the first seven copies of DEVIL MAY CARE to HMS Exeter, moored near Tower Bridge. The event was very reminiscent of Daniel Craig's unveiling as the new James Bond back in October 2005. On board HMS Exeter they were joined by Ian Fleming's niece Lucy. The book went on sale in the UK and US on 28th May 2008.
