Ian Fleming Publications Teases Mysterious New Project

CommanderBond.net points out a mysterious teaser that's appeared on Ian Fleming Publications' official website.  All it says is "Project X" with a 007 logo in the middle of the O, and there's a clock counting down the hours and the minutes until Ian Fleming's birthday, May 28.  So, presumably some sort of announcement will be made on that day about a new James Bond project.  Is it another Young Bond announcement?  A new adult James Bond novel?  A short story collection?  A special timepiece?  Speculation abounds (especially on the CBn Forums), but nobody knows for sure, so we'll just have to wait with bated breath until Friday to find out.  However, since IFP controls the literary James Bond copyright, I think it's safe to assume that the project is literary in nature. Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for either that rumored trade edition of Talk of the Devil (the collection of previously unpublished Fleming material currently available only as an extremely pricey luxury edition) or a collection of specially commissioned 007 short stories by varied and respected authors...
