    Synopsis

    What does it take to become the greatest secret agent the world has ever known?  In this thrilling prequel to the adventure of James Bond, 007, readers meet a young boy whose inquisitive mind and determination set him on a path that will someday take him across the globe, in pursuit of the most dangerous criminals of all time.

     

    Thirteen year-old James Bond cannot wait to get away from Eton, his stuffy boarding school, and visit his aunt and uncle in the Highlands of Scotland.  Upon arriving, he learns that a local boy, Alfie Kelly, has gone missing.  James teams up with the boy's cousin, Red, to investigate the disappearance.  The clues lead them to the castle of Lord Hellebore, a madman with a thirst for power.  Despite unknown dangers, James is determined to find the lost boy.  But what he discovers in the dark basement of Hellebore's estate will forever change his life.

    Orlando Sentinel

    A believable thriller about the boy behind Agent 007.

    February 02, 2010: A good start. But a shame the story had to be written in the 1930's. It should have been done in the 1970s to make it current.

    I would recommend Cherub books, Alex rider and Jason Steed first.

    I Also Recommend: Stormbreaker (Alex Rider Series #1), Stormbreaker, Fledgling.
