Pan Macmillan has today announced that it will be publishing A Matter of Honour 2027 by international bestselling author Jeffrey Archer. This will be a fully updated and reimagined edition of Archer’s A Matter of Honour, forty years on from original publication.

Modernised from its original 1966 setting as a modern-day, high-stakes, rollercoaster race against time, A Matter of Honour 2027 follows Adam Scott, a young and decorated Captain in the British Army who, in attempting to clear his family name from its dishonourable reputation, is unwittingly drawn into an international diplomatic crisis involving the sovereignty of Alaska. Adam must evade the lethal intentions of the FSB, the CIA, and even MI6 as he races to prevent the outbreak of a global conflict, all whilst confronting his family’s past. The novel is scheduled for publication in 2027.

Archer’s works have been published in 114 countries in more than 50 languages, with 300 million copies sold worldwide. Archer’s Kane & Abel trilogy is being adapted for TV for international audiences by Sony and Eleven, and The William Warwick Novels by BlackBox Multimedia.

Managing Director Lucy Hale says “We are delighted to be giving A Matter of Honour a new lease of life. Despite its origin four decades ago, the issues it addresses resonate with the same intensity and relevance today, and the updated novel will take this further to immerse readers in a frightening new landscape of heightened surveillance.”

Author Jeffrey Archer says “I revisited A Matter of Honour and was instantly immersed in imagining how the story and characters would evolve, sixty years on from the book’s original setting. The renewed spectre of Russian expansionism and threats to global peace make this reimagined edition an exciting and vastly relevant new work.”
