BRIEF NEWS: New James Bond Foe Runs An International Waste-Disposal Company
27 May 2011
The long-awaited release of the "nu-Bond" book by Jeffery Deaver, Carte Blanche, sees the British icon come up against Severan Hydt, a villain and a waste-disposal company owner
"'Recycling's a curious business,' Hydt yelled." is just one of the lines revealed by The Guardian's review of the popular spy series in it's first modern take dubbed the "nu-Bond", written by Jeffery Deaver.
The plot sees Bond face Severan Hydt, a villain who runs an international waste-disposal company. In Hydt's crazy headquarters complex, the baddie delivers an incessantly long speech to Bond regarding, well… rubbish, actually.
According to the review Hydt has, long, "yellowing" fingernails [fundamentalist "re-using" at its best] and has an obsession with corpses and decay.
Rather appropriate considering the industry he works in, don't you think?
We wonder whether a scene of Bond tied to a conveyor-belt, threatening to drop him into a grinding pit that will recycle him into packaging will feature? We hope so.
