Alex Rider is back and ready for another adventure. This time he is off down the south coast of Austrailia. He is now working for the Austrailian Secret Service otherwise know as ASIS. He is after the poisonous criminal organisation, Snakehead. Alex is working with Ash, a secret agent and his father's best friend. He can tell Aelx things about his past and his father that he really needs to know about. But everything goes disastrously wrong when an old familiar face turns up. Can Alex stop their evil plan and defeat the snakeheads? Can he survive? I think this is a really great book because it is bursting with action and tension. This book will mean most to people that have read other books in the series. I recommend this book to very capable readers as the plots can be quite complex at times.
