[box]Blood Fever is a pacy book, and the interplay of characters, along with the myriad dangers that follow young Bond more than makes up for the lack of gadgets - inevitable in the 1930s setting.

The story takes in a shadowy Latin-speaking society, a school field trip to the Mediterranean, pirates, art thieves and a hot-blooded girl from Sardinia.

The most complete plot summery yet. This from the US proof.

What the story is about: Following his adventures in the Scottish Highlands, James Bond is back at Eton, where he has joined the risk-taking Danger Society. Summer vacation is on the horizon, and James is looking forward to a school trip to the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia, and the opportunity to spend some time with his reclusive cousin Victor. But all is not as it appears. James soon discovers that the seemingly peaceful island harbors some strange secrets. Before long, Victor's house has been ransacked and important pieces of artwork have been stolen. James learns that the Millenaria--a ruthless Roman society long thought to be extinguished--is still active. He suspects the impetuous millionaire Count Ugo Carnifex may be behind it. But one of his teachers has been acting stranglely as well...As a young girl's life hangs in the balance, it's up to James to uncover an intricate conspiracy that will take him head-to-head with enemies more ruthless than he could have imagined.
