Book-by-Book Guide:
Royal Command Following a treacherous rescue high in the freezing Alps, James Bond is returning to life at Eton. But he’s under surveillance; his every move is watched. He alone holds a crucial clue to a sinister plot that could bring bloodshed to his school—and to his country. The danger is personal, and the stakes are sky-high. Life for a young Bond will never be the same again as he uses wits, courage, and nerve to uncover the conspiracy before it can explode.

Double or Die In a North London cemetery a professor is kidnapped at gunpoint. A suspicious letter filled with cryptic clues lands at Eton. To decipher the deadly mystery, James Bond must take a series of dangerous gambles. Once the code is cracked, he has just forty-eight hours to save the professor from the dark forces that threaten to destroy them both. And if the professor can’t escape, it’s not only his future at risk—it's the rest of the world.

SilverFin Before the name became a legend. Before the boy became a man. Meet Bond. James Bond. There’s something in the water at Loch SilverFin—deadly and secret. It’s Bond’s first day at Eton, and he’s already met his first enemy. This opening adventure sends him from the school fields to the remote shores of Loch SilverFin and a discovery that hints at a dangerous new form of warfare.

Blood Fever An Eton boy’s family disappears at sea. James uncovers a shadowy society operating in a hidden corner of the school. And far from England, in the bandit-infested interior of Sardinia, a sinister Italian count has built a mountain fortress. Is there a connection? Young Bond is about to find out—and to confront a lethal group of villains beneath the burning Mediterranean sun.

Hurricane Gold Hurricane Gold continues the high-octane adventures of young James Bond as he pursues dangerous secrets and outwits foes across continents. In this instalment, Bond tests his nerve, hones his instincts, and faces powerful threats that demand quick thinking and cool resilience.
