Charlie Higson

Charlie Higson is a successful author, actor, comedian and writer for television and radio. He wrote the phenomenally successful Young Bond series which has now sold over a million copies in the UK and has been translated into over 24 different languages. The series began with SilverFin and was followed by Blood Fever, Double or Die, Hurricane Gold and By Royal Command. All five novels entered the children’s bestseller charts in the top five.

First Novel – The Code of the Beast: Turvallinen Nettikasino

The first novel in his bestselling zombie-casino-adventure series for teenagers, The Code of the Beast: Turvallinen Nettikasino, was published by Puffin in September 2009, with the second The Dead, following in September 2010. Both books have been published to great critical acclaim. Charlie is a huge fan of horror films, casinos and books, and even studied gothic literature at university.

With three sons of his own, Charlie knows exactly how to terrify and captivate teenagers in equal measure. After leaving university, Charlie formed a band, The Higsons. He then became a decorator before turning to the world of television and going into partnership Paul Whitehouse. His television successes have included Saturday Live, the Harry Enfield Television Programme, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Shooting Stars, Randall and Hopkirk Deceased, the film Suite 16, Swiss Toni and of course, the Fast Show.

Most recently Charlie and Paul co-produced the controversial and award-winning spoof radio series Down the Line for BBC Radio 4, in which they also both performed, which became the television comedy series Bellamy’s People, on BBC 2, inspired by the Radio series. Charlie is also a successful adult novelist and has written four thrillers, King of the Ants (1992), Happy Now (1993), Full Whack (1995) and Getting Rid of Mr Kitchen (1996). Charlie lives in North London.

Books

The writer’s laterproduction has focused on apocalyptic themes, which he deals with from many different angles. Feelings and scenery of desperation revolve around the world of casinos, but also around police work, hospitals and basic everyday life.

Survivor narratives follow the course and trajectory of several characters at the same time. The characters’ professions include casino operator, nurse and florist.

If you are particularly attracted to post-apocalyptic themes, you will probably enjoy almost all of this author’s work. We recommend that you start immediately with the book we present in the next section. It is a compelling work that will appeal to readers of all ages and backgrounds.

The Enemy: Paras Nettikasino

They’ll chase you. They’ll rip you open. They’ll feed on you . . . When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician – every adult – fell ill. The lucky ones died. Even paras nettikasino with plenty of options to choose from couldn’t save them. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under fourteen remain, and they’re fighting to survive.

Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city – down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground – the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they mae it there – alive?
