The latest Alex Rider adventure opens with Alex, his friend Sabina Pleasure, and Sabina's father attending a lavish party given by the head of a nonprofit group called First Aid. Alex meets the charismatic leader, Desmond McCain, who has gone from poverty to riches, to jail and back to riches again. His organization, First Aid, is always on the scene of natural catastrophes and some that may not be so natural. Desmond McCain may be a great man or he may be a criminal mastermind.
Trouble always seems to find Alex, even in the most innocent of circumstances. Alex, Sabina and her father are suddenly propelled into the depths of a freezing loch in Scotland. A school field trip to a plant research facility almost proves fatal. Alex is shot at, kidnapped, almost caught in a terrible warehouse blaze and barely escapes the jaws of a very hungry crocodile. Using his wits, helpful inventions, and help from a few good people, Alex once again saves the world from destruction - all before his fifteenth birthday.
This may very well be the final book in the Alex Rider series. It will not disappoint fans of the series.
