Genre: Adventure
Series: Young Bond
Take a wealthy madman, a Nazi scientist, a horde of killer-man-eating eels, and a young hero on the cusp of manhood and you've got one of the best kids mystery novels I've ever read. By the way, the boy happens to be named Bond......
Before the name became a legend. Before the boy became the man. Meet Bond. James Bond.
Something is in the water at Loch Silverfin. Something deadly. Something secret.
On his first day at Eton, James already meets his first enemy. In remote Loch Silverfin, a terrifying discovery threatens to unleash a new breed of warfare.
Favourite book quote of mine this year thus far...
“Tea? Good God, no. It's mud. How the British ever built an empire drinking the filthy stuff is beyond me. And if we carry on drinking it, I've no doubt that the empire won't last much longer. No, a civilized person drinks coffee.”
