the game takes a look at an embryonic spy just embarking
on a life of espionage which ultimately leads to his vocation
as MI6’s top secret agent.
“Young Bond - SilverFin” begins the story of
one of the most iconic figures of our time. Based on the
best-selling book by Charlie Higson, the game, to be released
in January 2006, features 15 puzzle filled levels set over
three locations with a variety of enemies to avoid. Can
Young Bond’s stealth action help him avoid the guards
and stop him from being captured?
Pete Russell, MD for Player One, commented: “SilverFin
begins the story of the boy who is to become the most popular
fictional British hero of all time. James is a chip off
the old block and we are delighted to be launching the first
ever Young Bond game for mobile phones. Developed by Bafta
award-winning company Morpheme, the thrilling game has unrivalled
playability and captures the essence of the irrepressible
Young Bond.”

SilverFin, Charlie Higson’s first bestselling Young Bond
novel published earlier this year, was one of the most talked
about children’s books of the year, described by the Independent
as ‘one of the publishing sensations of 2005’. Higson
introduced the teenage Young Bond to a whole new generation of
readers and his second book has all the deadly ingredients of
an equally exciting bestseller.
The Young Bond “SilverFin” game follows the story of
the bestselling novel where an adolescent James has just started
boarding school at Eton in the 1930’s. From there, the action
moves to the Highlands of Scotland, where Alfie Kelly, a local boy,
has gone missing. Young Bond teams up with the boy’s cousin,
Red, to investigate the mystery and soon discovers that Alfie’s
disappearance is linked to a madman and his sinister plot for global
power.
