This book is the sequel to Alex Rider: Stormbreaker. The series now has seven books in it.
Anyway, the book follows the story of Alex Rider, fourteen-year-old spy for MI6. When two rich business head die mysteriously in 'accidents', MI6 believes that this is more than just a coincidence and looks into it. They discover that both these men had sent their sons to the same school. Since Alex is the right age to enter, MI6 puts him on the case.
Now Alex must dodge crazy teens with shotguns, almost get run over by a train, snowboard down a mountain with an ironing board, and risk being dissected alive by a mad scientist to ultimately save the world.
This book is better than you expect, definitely four star (out of five). I strongly suggest looking into this book or Stormbreaker. I will be writing reviews on more Alex Rider books. thanks for reading :)

I've read the first 5, and half of 6. I feel I have grown out of them now, but ye, Horowitz (?) is a brilliant children's writer. He's really good and I love the Alex Rider series.

I love the Alex Rider series! All the cool gadgets make me want to invent something like them.

This serise is the bomb. Well almost. But honestly, it has too meny twists in it. i mean you need to take series notes the first time reading if you do not want to be confused. I mean the big scandal over his parents. it is just so confusing.
Twilight rocks!
New Moon rules!
Eclispe kicks butt!
In coclusion, Steaphine Meyer is a rocking, ruling, and kick butt authour!
That is the TRUTH!

Yeah I agree you have no idea over anything regarding his parents etc.
And Horowitz wants a too-nice ending for Alex so the story involves more and more dramatic escapes, dim-witted villians etc.

However, they were the first books I read that I 'couldn't put down'

my favourite book of the series by far. it's fun and completely far fetched and unrealistic in an adorabel little way. sweet and packed with action.

I love these books so much! Like seriously, they were the books that first got me wanting to read! They were sooooo good, and I'm really bummed, because (although I haven't looked into it) I believe the last book, Crocodile tears, was the last one in the series which really sucks, because they were awesome! Sigh...
