Synopsis
As the sun blazes over the Caribbean island of Lagrimas Negras, its bloodthirsty ruler is watching and waiting. Criminals come here to hide, with blood on their hands and escape on their minds. On the mainland, in the quiet town of Tres Hermanas, ex-flying ace Jack Stone leaves his son and daughter in the company of James Bond. But a gang of thieves lies in ambush - they want Stone's precious safe, and will kill for its contents. James embarks on a deadly chase through the Mexican jungle. On this terrifying trail of greed and betrayal, only danger is guaranteed ...Survival is not. This is the fourth must-have adventure in this phenomenal series.

Customer Reviews

Best young bond yet
A truly fantasic book, it has good humor realistic caracters and a very good plot. This book is defiently well worth a read and my only minor critisisum would be that it is a tad predictibal and you can kind of guess what is going to happe hence the 4 stars not 5. Over a good book thats well worth a read well done charlie another great bond!

Very well written
I thought this was excellent. I haven't read any of the Fleming novels and am by no means a James Bond fan but have been looking for something to read to my impatient nine year old which won't bore me to death and these books have fitted the bill perfectly. I've enjoyed all of them although I would say that this and Blood Fever are the best. The Eton stuff in the other books was getting a little wearing and it was entirely absent here.

What has most impressed me is how well written they are. They are clearly aimed at young readers but I think Higson writes very fluently. Certainly, purely as a writer he is superior to Anthony Horowitz although that may be something to do with the speed Horwitz must churn them out.

Heartily recommended.

Amazing on the outside, weird story on the inside
This is the oddest Young Bond book of all of them. There is a lot of confusion in the plot, and a lot of things that just don't make sense.

I'm sorry, James Bond is great and everything, but if you like gripping actino books you should read the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore, The Jimmy Coates series by Joe Craig and of course the original - the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. Young Bond is just an impersonation of those other series.
