This book is among the best of the series and I truly enjoyed it. This book is intended for a teenage audience so one can relate to the main character and understand some things of the events that happen to him. If you like James Bond you will like this series because there are tons of action and espionage involved. For those who don't know, Alex Rider is a fourteen year old teenager that works for MI6, the British CIA. His parents died when he was young so he was raised by his uncle. However, his uncle, a spy, died in a mission and Alex Rider was now alone. He was first contacted by the MI6 shortly after his uncle's death and he found out the family secrets. Alex was somehow manipulated and recruited. MI6 found him very functional because he was a teenager and nobody suspected about his actions. After seven missions, Alex is tired of the spy life and all he wants is to enjoy his teenage years but he is blackmailed by the MI6 to take care of the eighth mission. The story starts when someone attempts to assassinate Alex and his girlfriend, Sabina. This event takes Alex to his next mission to find out who tried to kill him and what is he planning. Alex was sent to infiltrate a bio-genetics laboratory to investigate about the owner and try to find out who was responsible for his assassination attempt. He finds information about a terrorist plan and when escaping his cover is blown. He was then investigated by the terrorists and kidnapped. Alone and with no one to assist him, he was the only one that could stop the terrible tragedy that might happen. The story is mainly about spies, terrorist plans, adventures, and escapades. This is one of those books that are always thrilling with great realistic characters and a plot full of action. I have read all of the books in the Alex Rider series and I think this is the best one because of all the problems Alex has to overcome and how he resolves them. I liked this book because the main conflict is really fascinating and the author gives an explanation of the science and criminal mentality involved in this plan. Other things that I like are all the gadgets Alex is given, these are really creative and are used throughout the book. This book is really interesting and contains a lot of action that keeps you thrilled until the end. I really recommend this book and the whole series to people who like espionage, action and books that are similar to James Bond movies. I don't want this series to end and I'm hoping to read a new Alex Rider mission soon. Website: http://www.alexrider.com/
