This is the start of an adventure that will take him from the school playing fields to the remote shores of Loch Silverfin and a terrifying discovery that threatens to unleash a new breed of warfare. Praise for Silverfin:‘A page-turning adventure that will get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck’ – Sunday Express ‘Good, gritty and funny . . . Very clever, Bon, very clever indeed’ – Daily Mail ‘Would have made Ian Fleming proud’ – Daily Telegraph ‘More action, more demented crime and more flesh-crawling deaths than ever before’ – Observer Charlie Higson is author of five Young Bond books which have, to date, sold over three-quarters of a million copies in the UK and been translated into 24 different languages.
