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. 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.

"This book is yet another thrilling book from the 'Young Bond' series. First a team of pirates captures a boat on the Mediterranean Sea. The boat belongs to someone related to a boy at James' school in England. The boy then goes mad, seals a car and drives off. James follows and the boy who threatens to kill him. James quickly tells him the story of his parents. The boy then finds his senses enough to turn the car around and head back for the school. Later, James is sent out for break to his uncle Victors house."

— Yi, 2/15/2014" Good, it is very suspenseful. A must read "
— Prashant, 2/15/2014" This book is not one of my favorites. I feel that the first book in this seris is much better ("Silverfin"). One thing I think the author did well was keep the reader wanting to read. However this non-stop action did get old. When ever he thought he was safe I knew that he wasn't. I did however like that in all his book he sets the book up in the first chapter. I wouldn't read this book again for any means. Overall not that great of a book. "

— Aaron, 12/21/2013" Another brilliant book by Charlie Higson, the second book in the Young Bond series about a young man named James Bond. "
— Sam, 12/3/2013" Horrible title but a great, thrilling book about young James Bond and all the things at school and more! "
— Sam, 11/30/2013" These "books for boys" tell the story of the young James Bond, a student at Eton. They may be YA, but if like books like Agatha Christies, you'll enjoy these entertaining books. (There are five. This is No. 2.) "
— Danielle, 11/24/2013" 2.5 Overall, I felt that the story was just very messy and un-organized. The problems that came up in the beginning were solved at the very end, and the later problems were solved before. The ending was very dumb, and the writing style was a whole lot more confusing. Maybe book 3 will be better?!?! "
— Fred, 8/10/2013" this book is exciting and will have you at the edge of your seat. It has twists and turns and exciting characters. "
— N.S.A., 3/11/2013" Good adventure novel, easy to read and highly entertaining. It is action packed and you can't put it down. "
— Sean, 8/30/2012" This is a good book about James Bond when he was about 13. It has a lot of action and is quite suspenseful through parts. "
— Polly, 6/19/2012" Blood Fever is book No.2 in the Young Bong series, and it was just as good as Silverfin if not even better... Amazing! :) "
— Aria, 4/7/2012" It's an ok book, but I will recommend reading the Alex Rider series over this. "

— Patrick, 2/10/2011" A despicable right-wing turd of a book where everyone non-british is either a villain or a love interest this stuck-up etonian wanker. "
— Marko, 2/3/2011" I enjoyed this book but I was alittle to young when I read it because I didn't understand all of it. "
— Theo, 1/18/2011" this one was a good plot and story, just too violent for it to be a young adult book! "
— Claire, 1/2/2011" It's an ok book, but I will recommend reading the Alex Rider series over this. "
