Product Description
James Bond is on a much-needed vacation in Mexico at the home of ex-flying ace Jack Stone. But his holiday is cut short when a hurricane hits. As the storm ravages the community, a gang of thieves lies in ambush - they want Stone's safe, and will kill for its contents. Stone's children, Precious and JJ, are kidnapped, and James must embark on a perilous chase through the jungle to rescue them and retrieve the stolen items. The clues ultimately lead him to the island of Lagrimas Negras, a haven for deadly criminals, controlled by the ruthless El Huracán. James will have to use all of his instincts and cunning if he's going to outwit El Huracán and escape with his life. But the only way off the island is through a treacherous maze, La Avenida de la Muerte - the Avenue of Death. On this terrifying trail of greed and betrayal, only danger is guaranteed...survival is not.

Comment:
Hurricane Gold is a superb book about the young days of James Bond. He is a fourteen your old in the fourth book of the series. In the series, Higson shows a young boy thrown into several painful battles. A great past for agent 007. In Hurricane Gold, Bond is visiting a rich friend's(Jack Stone) house with his Aunt. Jack takes his Aunt to Palenque and James is left in his Mexico house with the servants and Jack's kids, Precious and JJ. That night, a hurricane hits and a group of thieves comes to steal naval documents. Not able to open the safe, the JJ and Precious are taken hostage. James must go on a journey to save the kids and recover the documents. The thieves plans have been changed courtesy of the hurricane. James is taken to the island of Lagrimas Negras, an island of thieves. It is controlled by an evil leader, El Huracan. With a heartstopping climax and a journey through the avenue of death, Hurricane Gold is by far the best young James Bond book in the series.

Another GREAT Charlie Higson novel.

Comment:
Hurricane Gold is a very thrilling addition to the Young Bond series. It lives up to the standards of the other books in the series. The book is very easy to get into, and once you have started reading it, It is very hard to put it down. This novel references previous books in the series, however the book can stand-alone. I highly recommend this book.

I've read all of the James Bond books, and I like Higson better than Faulks. I just wish the US version of the Young Bond series got published a lot quicker.

Comment:
The Young Bond series keeps getting better and better. Charlie Higson does a great job in exploring how the adult Bond got to be who he is while also providing a "ripping yarn" of an adventure story.
Love the in-jokes such as the name of the Japanese character. Sorry that the next book will be the last in this series.
