After two years the Alex Rider series is back and it's well worth the wait.

Teenage spy Alex's most dangerous mission yet reveals how his parents really died and who killed them.

Alex is working for the Australian Secret Service to foil plot to destroy a poverty summit and half of Australia with a giant tidal wave.

This takes him across the world where he finds himself in dangerous situations such as fighting for his life in a backstreet arena and trying to break out of a container on a ship headed for Australia.

This book is very well written and the best of the Alex Rider series.

It is gripping from page one and you will want to carry on reading until you are finished.
