Episode 33 with author Vaseem Khan on Reinventing Q and Writing Quantum of Menace for the Ian Fleming Estate

In this episode of In My Good Books, bestselling author Vaseem Khan joins Susie to discuss his thrilling new novel Quantum of Menace - the first book in a bold new series featuring Q as the protagonist instead of James Bond.

Vas shares what it was like collaborating with the Ian Fleming estate, how he approached reimagining an iconic world, and why Q is the perfect character for exploring technology, espionage, and moral complexity in the modern age.

The conversation delves into Vas’s writing process, his signature blend of humour and social commentary, and how his background in crime fiction shaped this new adventure. He also reveals his plans for future Q novels, the challenges of writing within the Bond universe, and the books currently inspiring him.

Whether you’re a James Bond fan, a crime fiction lover, or simply fascinated by how authors reinvent literary icons, this episode offers sharp insight and plenty of behind-the-scenes revelations.
