    About this ebook

    A flash of lightning illuminates a horrific sight. A tragic accident, claims the school administration – But James Bond knows better. He suspects murder. In search of the truth – and revenge – Bond risks his life to learn of a new secret weapon that could change the course of history.

    The trail leads across Europe to a ruthless warmonger who stands ready to unleash hell upon the world. To survive, James must brave traps, trials and terrifying experiments - and triumph over his most powerful opponent yet.

    James Bond is back in Strike Lightning, Steve Cole's third thrilling Young Bond adventure.

      A fun boys own adventure with a young James Bind and friends taking on the Nazis in a story of double agents and iron man like diesel punk suits. An interesting take on a young bond and his 1930’s world. Fun, readable and well paced but blesses with the same realism as the rest of the Bond series. The echoes of what is to come is fun to spot though.
    • 3/5
      I'm not sure that I can put my finger on what I disliked about Strike Lightning. Certainly, Cole did a better job of evoking the 1930s in this book than in his first entry in the Young Bond series. But still something about the plot just didn't grab me.
