Snakehead (Alex Rider)

Product Information

As of Russian Roulette, this novel contains, by far, the highest number of secondary and tertiary antagonists compared to any other book. The eighth book is entitled 'Yassen' and revolves around the life of this esteemed assassin. Theories are that he's still alive-in my opinion that's the only twist that could make it worth reading, otherwise it would just be a history of his life-yawn. Alex wakes up and meets Yu over dinner, who after giving his life story, reveals his plan to cause a tsunami to destroy Reef Island and stop the conference, along with the west coast of Australia. Alex is then sent to a hospital in the Australian rainforest where he is to be used as an unwilling donor for illegal organ transplants, to pay for his damage to SCORPIA both in the 'Invisible Sword' project and on the Liberian Star. He uses the watch Smithers gave him to send a signal to MI6, which seemed not to work.

[ permanent dead link]It seemed that everything was building up to 'Scorpia' and after its cataclysmic ending there just had to be a wrap-up book-but Snakehead... kinda boring. This book was amazing in my opinion. Anthony Horowitz does a great job of keeping this book series going strong, as well as keeping each book interesting while using many of the same elements in each book.

Snakehead is the seventh novel in the Alex Rider series written by British author Anthony Horowitz. The book was released in Australia on 28 September 2007, in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2007, and in the US on 13 November 2007. The title comes from the name given to Asian gangs involved in people smuggling illegal passports, visas, weapons, and more. Snakehead takes place directly after the events of Ark Angel, with Alex finding himself in Australian waters where he landed at the end of that story. This one took a little while to get going with the 'straightforward' and 'minimal risk' part of the

A couple of complaints more: This book ends with Alex needing to defuse a bomb AGAIN, as if that wasn't the climax of the last book too. Not very original. There is also a new audiobook narrator for the series, and I can't say I approve, I miss the sassiness the last one had. Skeleton Key was published in 2002. After foiling a Triad plot to fix the 2001 Wimbledon tennis tournament and befriending Sabina, Alex is in grave danger of assassination. Forced to leave the country, MI6 sends him on a mission to Cuba with two doubtful CIA agents, of whom he is the sole survivor. He encounters former Soviet general Alexei Sarov, who tries to adopt Alex and expresses ideas of a nuclear holocaust and world domination under communist rule. Alex then foils his plans saving the world for a third time.
