Description
Life for James Bond will never be the same.
Following a treacherous rescue mission high in the freezing Alps, Bond hopes to return to a quiet life at Eton. But he won't get his wish - his every move is being watched, and he is dragged into a sinister plot that will bring carnage to his school, and his country.
Forced to flee to Austria, James is soon trapped in a deadly war of secrets and lies, as a nightmare reunion with an old enemy throws him once more into the path of death . . .
By Royal Command is the fifth dramatic Young Bond adventure from bestselling writer Charlie Higson.
