Media Reviews
His ninth and final adventure cleverly combines the usual parodically convoluted plot with shrewd analysis of both teenage angst and geopolitics. This country's anxiety over our declining importance is a theme, but Alex, resourceful as Bond and world-weary as George Smiley, can make you feel still proud to be British. * Daily Telegraph *
This is the most twisty, deadly plot of any Alex Rider mission yet... Perfect for older readers. -- Stacia Briggs * Norwich Evening News *
