Awesome!
The best book I read!
Amazing
This book is tied for first with Ark Angel and Scorpia Rising in my mind. I'm a 12 year old who loves the Alex Rider books and this book is like a book heaven! I love how Anthony Horowitz describes Alex's battle against himself trying to decide MI6 or his dad's legacy. There are so many twists and turns in this book and it is definitely a must read. It kept me on the edge of my seat-or wherever I was reading it- the whole time. Before I realized there was another book, I was really sad about the last chapter. I don't want to give anything away though. I recommend this book for 13 year olds and older.

Brilliantly Written. Amazing Story.
This book is one of the best I have ever read. Anthony Horowitz has done it again with the fifth book in the incredible Alex Rider series. It holds a lot of action and adventure. At the end of each chapter there is always a suspenseful cliffhanger challenging you to read on. My favorite part was in the end when Alex Rider was with Scorpia and... I don’t want to give it away but let’s just say, it ends with a bang! Alex Rider can either chose to follow his Dad’s footsteps or follow the path of his heart. His decision in this book is completely unexpected and defiantly changes things for the characters.
Anthony Horowitz writes with such extreme vivid details. When Alex fights he describes it so well, it feels like you are in the battle zone. Which speaking of it there defiantly is lot of fighting. Alex must save Hundreds of Thousands of children’s lives before it is too late. The criminal organization responsible for this sinister act is Scorpia. But Alex is not necessarily fighting against them.
The ending is not on the last chapter it is actually more on the third-to-last chapter. Then, on the second-to-last chapter an extremely unexpected twist occurs. It is such a perfect ending to this kind of story. Then, finally, on the last chapter, something happens that will make you hold your breath as you read. You won’t be able to put this book down.
In the end, it is a fabulous read and is deftly worth the time. I would differently recommend it and would rate is five out of five stars (5/5). But before you read this book you must make sure that you read the first four books in the series that come before it. Sometimes the scenes refer back to those books.
