Since the release of the first novel ''SilverFin'' in 2005, the series has become very successful and has led to further works including games, a graphic novel and even a supplemental travel guide.
[[Word of God|According to Charlie Higson]], Ian Fleming Publications initially planned for him to only write one novel and that every subsequent novel would be written by a rotating author, possibly similar to the defunct Robert Markham pseudonym of the late 1960s. This plan fell apart and Higson agreed to author future books in the series. However,
The books in the series are:▼
The books in Charlie Higson's series are:
* ''SilverFin'' (2005): In 1933, thirteen-year-old James Bond arrives at Eton College for boys for the first time to continue his schooling. There he meets an American bully and his arms dealing father, Lord Randolph Hellebore. While on Easter break, Bond's adventure continues in the Highlands of Scotland where James investigates a local boy's disappearance. Teaming up with Red Kelly, the boy's Cockney cousin, James finally reaches a castle and a loch which is home to the Hellebores and discovers their deadly secret.
* ''Blood Fever'' (2006): In 1933, James Bond is back at Eton where he is now a member of a secret risk-taking club known as the Danger Society. When summer vacation arrives Bond goes on a field trip to the Italian island of Sardinia where he stays with his much older cousin Victor. While there, James investigates a Roman secret society known as the Millenaria that had plans throughout history to restore the Roman Empire. It seems the Millenaria are still active and are led by the sinister Count Ugo Carnifex.
* ''Double or Die'' (2007): The third Young Bond novel is set entirely in England during Christmas and finds James searching for a missing school master in the darkest corners of London. The book involves Russian spies attempting to build an early computer. The title of the book was chosen by fans via an online poll and kept secret until the day of publication.
* ''Hurricane Gold'' (2007): The fourth Young Bond novel, ''Hurricane Gold'', is set in Mexico and the Caribbean. The plot is centered around Bond trying to foil the robbery of a team of professional criminals, only to end up following them around Mexico and eventually to a mysterious Caribbean island called Lagrimas Negras. The book contains many references to Mayan mythology and much of the end is focused on it.
* ''By Royal Command'' (2008) : The book deals with Bond leaving Eton College due to the incident with the maid, as mentioned in ''[[You Only Live Twice]]''. The Royal Family and the British secret service also play a part in the plot (revealing that {{spoiler|Bond's tutor is a British spy}}). In this book, James Bond falls in love with his Irish maid, Roan.
* ''Danger Society: The Young Bond Dossier'' (2009): Complete and definitive guide to the world and adventures of Young Bond. Includes the brand-new Young Bond short story "A Hard Man to Kill" by Charlie Higson. The story is set between the books ''Hurricane Gold'' and ''By Royal Command'' and involves Young Bond traveling back to London aboard the French ocean liner SS Colombie. It is the longest James Bond short story yet written▼
