Double or Die

Double or Die: A James Bond Adventure by Charlie Higson 371 pages.

Can you imagine a young James Bond: dashing, debonair and rather self-confident? While a student at Eton, he is introduced to baccarat and discovers a talent for gaming... and solving cryptic mysteries, fast driving and dodging bullets. This book is short on the tech toys found in the Alex Rider series by Horowitz; instead it focuses on cerebral acrobatics to help rescue a kidnapped professor. Don't get me wrong. It does have plenty of action -- after all this is Book Three in the Young Bond series.
