Summary

Following a treacherous rescue mission high in the freezing Alps, James Bond is preparing for life back at Eton. But James is under surveillance; his every move is being watched. He alone holds the clue to a sinister plot that will bring bloodshed and carnage to his school - and his country. Forced to flee from Eton to Austria, James must leave behind everything he knows, with only a beautiful - and dangerous - girl by his side. Soon he is trapped in a deadly war of secrets and lies, as a nightmare reunion with a bitter enemy throws him once more into the path of death. Life for James Bond will never be the same again.

Parker is an ace

Nathaniel Parker really makes these books a joy to listen to.

His enthusiasm for getting the details correct , doing the voices to split up the characters from the lines of the book.

Highly recommend and hope he does more audiobooks

A good journey-buster

Like the other YB books, this kept all my kids (8-11, m & f) engrossed and behaving for hours at a time. And I enjoyed it too.

Excellent listen

After listening to the first book in the series I wanted to listen to more. This book did not disappoint. It was an excellent story and well read. A fried asked me if these stories were for children, me being an adult. I must say that the gory content in places didn't make it seem for children only. If you're an adult who wants an easy read of a ripping yarn then look no further.
