Charles Higson Knihy

Než se jméno stalo legendou. Než se chlapec stal mužem. Seznamte se s Bondem. Jamesem Bondem. James Bond odhalil nebezpečí. Nyní se stává lovnou zvěří. Rodina jednoho studenta z Etonu zmizí na moři. James odhaluje tajnou společnost působící ve skrytosti ve škole. A daleko od Anglie, v bandity zamořeném vnitrozemí Sardinie si zlověstný italský hrabě vybudoval horskou pevnost. Existuje mezi těmito událostmi nějaká spojitost? Mladý Bond se to chystá zjistit – a pod spalujícím středomořským sluncem musí čelit smrtelně nebezpečné bandě zločinců. James Bond je nejproslulejší ze všech tajných agentů, co kdy existovali. Jeho život ve skrytém světě britských tajných služeb brilantně zachytilo čtrnáct klasických knih Iana Fleminga od Casina Royale po Chobotničku. Ian Fleming začal psát o Jamesi Bondovi před více než padesáti lety. Jako kronikář Bondovy kariéry u tajné služby byl Fleming mimořádně povolanou osobou – sám se účastnil vysoké zpravodajské hry za druhé světové války.

James Bond je nejznámějším špionem, který kdy žil na zeměkouli. Jeho život v mlhavém stínu Britské tajné služby skvěle zdokumentovalo čtrnáct klasických knih, napsaných Ianem Flemingem, od Casina Royal po Chobotničku. Ale teprve teď se nám do rukou dostávají fragmenty z let, kdy James Bond teprve vyrůstal. Ian Fleming začal psát o Jamesi Bondovi téměř před padesáti lety. K zaznamenání špionážní kariéry Jamese Bonda měl mimořádné předpoklady. Sám zaujímal vysoké postavení v tajné službě a sbíral zkušenosti ve Druhé světové válce.
