Reviews / Votes
His ninth and final adventure cleverly combines the usual parodically convoluted plot with shrewd analysis of both teenage angst and geopolitics. This country's anxiety over our declining importance is a theme, but Alex, resourceful as Bond and world-weary as George Smiley, can make you feel still proud to be British. * Daily Telegraph * This is the most twisty, deadly plot of any Alex Rider mission yet... Perfect for older readers. -- Stacia Briggs * Norwich Evening News *More details
