Mike+I

__**MI6**__: the base of operations for the British secret services. This is disguised as a bank, and is where all the spies get their job/mission they must complete. __**Nikolei Drevin**__: The richest man alive in the world, a Russian man. An eco-terrorist group attempted to kidnap his son in order for them to fund their Ark Angel project. __**Mr Smithers**__: The man that creates all the special gadgets at MI6. Personally Alex's favorite operative although he doesn't work out in the field next to ever. __**Force Three**__: This is the eco-terrorist group in this book that comes up with the Ark Angel project idea, and put it together. As they thought no one would expect it, and could cause major chaos.
 * __Ark Angel__**: It is going to be the first ever hotel in space. Although what the creators are actually going to use it to destroy the Pentagon and Whitehouse.
 * __Alex Rider__**: A British teenage spy. He comes from a generation or so of spies (his uncle and his father) and wants to fallow in their footsteps (and he doesn't have much of any other choice). He has been trained for this all his life without him knowing.
 * __Anthony Horowitz__**: The writer of the Alex Rider books. He also has over two more successful book series.
 * __St Dominic's__**: The hospital where Alex is recovering in the beginning of the book. He is there because he is suffering a chest-wound from the last book.
 * __Flamingo Bay__**: This is where the setting of the book is, in Miami, Florida. This is described as a tropical island, that is privately owned by Force Three.
 * __Alan Blunt__**: This man is the "head honcho" at MI6 base of operations. He assigns all of the missions, and makes the decision on which spy goes out for what mission, and who stays.
