British actor David Oyelowo is to narrate the audiobook edition of the forthcoming official James Bond novel, Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz.

Oyelowo follows in the footsteps of other actors who have narrated Bond novels, including Kenneth Branagh, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hiddleston and Rosamund Pike. He commented 'Anthony Horowitz has crafted a taut thriller with a fascinating cast of characters and stunning action sequences that I am relishing bringing to life. It is an acting challenge as exciting to me as any I have faced on stage or screen. I get to play James Bond! It doesn't get much better than that'. Trigger Mortis is released September 8.
