The dark waters around a Scottish castle hold a sinister secret. One man with a thirst for power will use it – whatever the cost. SilverFin is dangerous. SilverFin is the future. SilverFin must be destroyed…
Bond, James Bond.
The legend begins with SilverFin.
SilverFin will be published in the UK by Puffin Books (a division of the Penguin Group), and by Hyperion Books for Children (in conjunction with Miramax Books) in the U.S. A second yet untitled novel is scheduled for November 2005. There are a total of five books planned in the ‘Young Bond’ series.
