What did you like best about this story?

Much better than Silverfin, this sequel has a much more engaging plot. From Eton, where Bond never really feels at home, to the strange, intriguing island Sardinia, the story takes the reader on a much more dynamic journey. Well timed switches in POV make it even more interesting. Though I will never be able to stop comparing to the superior Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, "Blood Fever" makes me fall in love with the "teen spy" trope all over again!

What about Nathaniel Parker’s performance did you like?

Nathaniel Parker has a very enjoyable voice. He does individual character voices really well and made both the heroes and the villains of this story really come alive. Will definitely listen to him again!

Better book & great performance

I found this is a very satisfying adventure story.
Although most of it held me in suspense it was a cozy story to listen to.
I recommend this for teens or possibly older.
I enjoyed its interpretation of a a younger version of James Bond and it some managed to keep slot of the concepts of the older tales without being sexist.

I loved this story of the young James Bond, his time at Eton, his aloneness and his love of danger and the excitement he derived from daring to ‘live on the edge’ with The Danger Club’. The exploits there equipped him well to deal with the scrapes he would get into - and out of - whilst on a school trip to Sardinia. I listened to the last 5hrs in one go as it was so tense and exciting.

I love spoken word. I can do manual tasks whilst listening.

The narrator was very good and made it easy to follow as he adopted different voices for the disparate characters.

I will look out for more stories about the young James Bond.

A cracking good read
