Alex Rider is no ordinary schoolboy. Being woken up by the police at three in the morning changes his whole life permanently. His uncle Ian is dead, leaving him alone with his housekeeper and best friend Jack Starbright. When his suspicions begin to bloom he starts to piece together a bigger picture of his family but before he guesses any more he soon gets forcibly recruited into MI6 to spy on a suspected villain. But finally his luck runs out - could this be how his life ends?
