I liked all of Alex's near-death experiences in this volume, particularly because it would be SUPER hard to survive them. Alex gets suspended from school after he comes back onto the bus looking like he's just been through a war (the excuse given is that he fell out of the emergency exit.

Often imitated, never equaled, the series that triggered a reading phenomenon is back, exhilarating and addictive as ever.However, throughout the Alex Rider series, I didn't really like the ideas that at some point in the story, the villain will eventually reveal their plans. First off, we're introduced to Ravi Chandra, who plants a bomb in a nuclear power station and doesn't live very long. Forced to ask MI6 for protection, Alex finds himself being manipulated in a deadly game that could lead to the destruction of an entire East African country, but Alex manages to kill Desmond McCain in the end. But the only reason I didn't give this five stars is because it doesn't make sense why the villain didn't kill him before it was too late (he had a thousand chances).

This began with two Sherlock Holmes continuation novels, The House of Silk and Moriarty, followed by my entry into the world of James Bond with Trigger Mortis. I am not sure how many more of these Horowitz is planning on writing, but every time I finish a new one I cross my fingers that it's not the last. Andai genetik tumbuhan ini diubah untuk ke arah yang baik seperti pengeluaran hasil yang lebih atau ketahanan kepada cuaca yang lebih tinggi tentu hasilnya baik. My only complains are after a while the villains are pretty cookie cutter and again the plot fluctuates between believable and fantasy.I hope, if you read it, you'll enjoy all the clues, the red herrings, the bizarre range of suspects and the occasionally violent twists. I'd rid myself of the Alex Rider series at last, and Anthony Horowitz had said that Snakehead would be his last, and it ended satisfactorily. In typical Alex Rider style, he wins a round of Texas Hold 'em on someone else's money, donates it all back, and half a dozen or so pages later, the car he, Sabina, and Mr. Alex has his friend, Tom Harris, cover for him as he breaks away from the group to infiltrate Straik's office, using a locator map disguised as a postcard.

It started out fine, and I thought for a moment this would be one heck of a book, and that at last, Mr Horowitz would deliver! But a simple card game between them rapidly leads to a duel to the death - one that could result in the destruction of an entire country. In the eighth book in the number one bestselling Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, Alex meets international do-gooder Desmond McCain. He uses them so effectively that made readers stop and think before continue on reading all the while bombard with words that made readers feel like they are in the shotgun position along with Alex. Anthony Horrowitz also loves to use syntax throughout his book to excite and rush readers which is crucial to a book like this such as the quote, "If he fell!How is he able to afford so many family vacations (every time we're introduced to his family, they are on a vacation), and take along a boy who is a friend of his daughter's for most of them? There were eleven more books in the series - the latest, Never Say Die, was published in 2017 - and they are now being developed for TV. Another action-packed entry in the series wherein Alex goes from the frying pan into the fire and then into really really hot places multiple times, always upping the stakes and somehow surviving.

Meanwhile, whilst looking on CCTV surveillance with Straik and Dr Myra Bennett (the Greenfields supervisor, and McCain's fiancée), McCain recognises Alex and puts out the word for information. Samantha Redwing, the Chief Science Officer, analyses the sample but cannot make out anything dangerous about it. but still just as bloodpumping thrilling, nail-biting exciting and pure breathless addictive as ever! I'm so invested in this series and for what, for some government official to say that because he's a kid, he's not worth their time? But as I grew older (and my original audience entered their twenties) I felt a need to move into adult writing.

But here I am, writing a book in which I have no idea what's going on, following in the footsteps of a character who refuses to tell me anything. At least, that's my version of events and that's what counts here because, very unusually, I actually appear in the book as his not entirely successful sidekick; the Watson to his Holmes. It introduces a detective by the name of Daniel Hawthorne - a rather dark and dangerous man whom I actually met on the set of Injustice. An engineering technician, Ravi Chandra, plants a bomb in the nuclear reactor of the Jowada Nuclear Power Station in India, after being persuaded to do so by a European man who promises him a lot of rewards.
