Bond's Aunt Charmian drives an identical Bentley to one Bond drives in Casino Royale and in subsequent books. Bond also inherits his uncle's 1.5 liter Bamford & Martin Sidevalve Short Chassis Tourer. Bamford & Martin later became Aston Martin. Tim and Joris, our co-founders, built the Silverfin platform to transform the post-accounting world: connecting siloed data, automating compliance workflows and streamlining reporting. This is a strong endorsement for our city centre as we come through the recovery, and I know that the ambitious plans we all have for the city will have played a significant part in Shell’s decision to opt for the city centre.” Simon Roddy, senior vice president, UK upstream for Shell UK Ltd said, “This is great news for our staff and for our future as a key player in the North Sea’s energy transition. We are working on exciting projects and technologies like carbon capture and storage and hydrogen production. This is the right move for our teams as we help shape that lower-carbon future, supporting the UK’s journey to net zero, while continuing to provide the energy the country relies on through the transition.”Adrian Watson, chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired welcomed the news and commented “This is exactly the news the city centre deserves. We hope this ambitious step by Shell UK, a world leading company, that employs a significant workforce in the city is the catalyst for other companies to follow suit and invest in the heart of the city where there is not only great commercial opportunities on offer but a retail and cultural offering second to none in the north of Scotland. The U.S. edition of the book was edited to remove descriptions that were considered too racy for young readers. One such example includes a description of Wilder Lawless's legs during a tussle between herself and Bond. The protests are to oppose “Barclays’ investment in environmentally destructive activities such as fossil fuels and deforestation”, according to Just Stop Oil. The move has been widely welcomed by city centre chiefs, who say it will increase footfall to the many retailers, cafes, restaurants and businesses in the area and act as a catalyst for further generation of the West End of Union Street. The regeneration of Union Street Aberdeen is nearing completion. The Silverfin office development was brought together by Titan Investments with Cooper Cromar Architects, Sir Robert McAlpine (main contractor), Dane Architectural (curtain walling installer) and TI Dynamic Facades – Ultralite Architectural granite facade.

It is hoped that Shell's move to the city centre, which it first came to in 1965, will also increase footfall to nearby retailers, cafes, restaurants and businesses. In 2004, it was announced that Higson would pen a series of James Bond novels, aimed at younger readers and concentrating on the character's school-days at Eton. Higson was himself educated at Sevenoaks School where he was a contemporary of Jonathan Evans, current Director General of MI5. The first novel, SilverFin, was released on 3 March 2005 in the UK and on 27 April 2005 in the U.S. A second novel, Blood Fever, was released on 5 January 2006 in the UK and 1 June in the U.S. The third novel, Double or Die, was published on 4 January 2007 having had its title announced the day before. The next, Hurricane Gold, came out in hardcover in the UK in September 2007.[3:]In this year he also made a debut performance on the panel show QI. His final Young Bond novel, By Royal Command, was released in hardcover in the UK on the 3 September 2008.[4:]SilverFin is the first novel in the Young Bond series that depicts Ian Fleming's superspy James Bond as a teenager in the 1930s. It was written by Charlie Higson and released in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2005 by Puffin Books in conjunction with a large marketing campaign; a Canadian release of the same edition occurred in late March. The United States edition, which was slightly edited for content, was released on April 27, 2005 by Miramax Books. Shell’s announcement of its relocation to Silver Fin is a positive for the city, and signals their confidence in Aberdeen and the city centre to other businesses and investors.” Our history in the Granite City is a rich one, and it's great to be starting this exciting next chapter." Shell’s North Sea boss says the company hopes to complete its move to new offices at the prestigious Silver Fin building in Aberdeen by the end of the year, amid plans for an urban garden and parking refurbishment.

Max Bond is James' uncle in this novel. He is described as old and feeble but proves that he still has much energy and can relate to James in many ways. Max once discusses his days as a spy with James. I think that he would be one of the reasons James eventually took up that career path, despite that Max discouraged James from taking up spying, I expect that at the time James found the stories exciting rather than frightening. James' uncle seems to crave James' company, perhaps because James reminds him of his own youth. He teaches James to drive, making the cheeky promise that if James took care in not crashing his car on his first drive, he would give it over to the boy when he died. I was again given the impression that the character Max was based on a real person because of the vivacity and warmth of his personality, perhaps a father figure of the author's. Don't need name, or breath "smelt sour and sulphurous" p 37, "madness behind the eyes" p 76 to peg villain. Dedication "For Frank and my own Uncle Max" means gifts and words from Great War spy Uncle Max, dying from lung cancer, are his last. Despite warning "belly-rotting fear", inspires "Nobody can hold a Bond forever" p 215. He teaches James to drive his Aston Martin and wills car to the boy, though two years under legal driving age. Supernatural 4 am wake-up call is a bit much. Speaking at the event, Mr Roddy said it was the start of an exciting new chapter for the company in the north-east. A young boy disappeared by the Castle and Hellebore is very secretive. James and his friend Red Kelly start snooping around the castle and they find out that Hellebore is a very evil man.Higson: "The smell and noise and confusion of a hallway full of schoolboys can be quite awful at twenty past seven in the morning." Shell's first office opened in Union Street in 1965 and in 2018 it marked 50 years of production in the North Sea. Hailing the move as “the next chapter in Shell’s long and successful history in the city”, he added: “Our first office opened on Union Street in 1965 and in 2018 we marked 50 years of production in the North Sea.
