James Bond je nejznámějším špionem, který kdy žil na zeměkouli. Jeho život v mlhavém stínu Britské tajné služby skvěle zdokumentovalo čtrnáct klasických knih, napsaných Ianem Flemingem, od Casina Royal po Chobotničku. Ale teprve teď se nám do rukou dostávají fragmenty z let, kdy James Bond teprve vyrůstal.

Mladý Bond se to chystá zjistit - a pod spalujícím středomořským sluncem je nucen čelit smrtelně nebezpečné bandě zločinců. Akční dobrodružství se spoustou bojů…
