1. Creepy Mystrious plot
The book starts out with a young kid going up to a lake to fish. The lake is fenced in and nobody has been allowed to enter for years. Nobody knows why the owner is so mysterious. Immediately the book starts out giving the reader something to ponder about. This is exactly how the James Bond movies start out too.
2. Attractive Girl in Plot
Every James Bond fan can attest to the fact that the movies would not be the same without a beautiful actress helping Bond save the world. In Silverfin the same pattern occurs. As James investigates a potential suspect he meets a pretty Scottish girl that offers help. She even saves James from certain death at the end of the novel.
3. Lots of Spy Investigating
In the movies Bond constantly uses his spy skills to solve mysteries. He uses his various talents and gadgets to find out who and what the culprit is up to. In Silverfin James May mot have the gadgets, but he still has the talent. He finds his way through an impassable fence, slides past evil henchmen, and sneaks into a castle fortress.
4. Crazy Evil Villian (spoiler alert)
The bad guy in Silverfin is a man named Lord Hellebore. He has the same crazy ideas that the villains in the movies have. He has some plan to someday take over the world, but then James Bond shows up. Hellebore almost succeeds in his plan, but Bond ruins it all. In the end the villain's ambitions are what causes their demise and Silverfin is no exception to that.
5. Action!
What the James Bond movies do so well is include action, but not so much to the point where it's sickening. That's what fans love about the movies. Silverfin is exactly the same in this way. Yes, there is plenty of action, but it gets balanced out by dialogue, mystery, and setting. When there is action it is thrilling and just as exciting as the movie. Fans of James Bond will love how this book uses that.
