1 post | 10 read | 2 to read
Following his adventures in the Scottish Highlands, James Bond is back at Eton, where he has joined the risk-taking Danger Society. Summer vacation is on the horizon and James is looking forward to the school trip to the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia, and the opportunity to spend some time with his reclusive cousin Victor. But all is not as it appears. James soon discovers that the seemingly peaceful island harbors some strange secrets. Before long, Victor’s house has been ransacked and important pieces of artwork have been stolen. James learns that the Millennaria—a ruthless Roman society long thought to be extinguished—is still active. He suspects the impetuous millionaire Count Ugo Carnifex may be behind it. But one of his teachers has been acting strangely as well…. As a young girl’s life hangs in the balance, it’s up to James to uncover an intricate conspiracy that will take him head-to-head with enemies more ruthless than he could have ever imagined.

I mostly liked this book. My Dad said that the Hungarian pirates were a real threat in the 50‘s when this book was taking place, so it‘s not as racist as it seems. There was a lot of action, and there is never a dull moment, but the end was too abrupt and it left too many open ended questions. James is too forgiving of his enemies. I am holding off on Double Or Die until I read more of what I already have.
