Snakehead (Alex Rider)

Product Information

One day, Yasha's parents reveal that their lab's latest client bribed them into corruption and forced them to make weaponized anthrax to wipe out Russia's enemies. The mission would be quite simple, Alex would be flown to Bangkok where he'd meet with the agent he'd work with, then his appearance would be altered to make him look like an Afghan refugee. He leaves Damian Cray's mansion after stealing a piece of equipment vital to Damian's plan but is forced to give it up because Damian kidnaps Alex's girlfriend, Sabina. Although his childhood permanently damaged him, it also gave him a gift — it provided him with rich source material for his writing career.

The two enter Air Force One, where Damian Cray launches nuclear missiles at the drug-supplying countries. In Australia, Ethan Brooke, head of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS), coerces Alex into helping him by pairing him with agent Ash, who was his godfather and once his father's best friend, to investigate the powerful snakehead ring under Winston Yu, after two failed attempts to infiltrate the organisation. The only reason Alex agreed was because he would work with his godfather Ash and he could hopefully learn more about his parents.Alex is rescued by a man whose identity is later revealed as Rahim, an Indian RAW agent sent to kill McCain. After the events of Scorpia Rising, Alex is left traumatized by the death of his caregiver and close friend, Jack Starbright.

Ces nouvelles péripéties le conduisent sur la piste d'un personnage énigmatique, qui semble en savoir long sur la mort de ses parents.What is perhaps more terrifying than the deeply dangerous missions he finds himself engaged in, is the attitude of his handlers at MI6, who view the boy as nothing more than an expendable asset. From the slums of Bangkok to the Australian Outback to the middle of the Timor Sea, Snakehead is Alex Rider’s most action-packed adventure yet. 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. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Alex goes on to say he "admires" Snakehead, the people smugglers, and it somehow even more disturbing to read in context.

Alex finds his Godfather (Ash) And finds out that Ash was behind the death of his parents (Ash dies seconds later) Major Yu then escapes and Alex stops the bomb! What goes up must come down, and when we last saw Alex Rider, he was as up as can be—in outer space. However, to Alex's dismay, Yu has found Ash, and threatens to shoot him if Alex doesn't turn himself in. I'm always surprised how much Alex has been through in a short amount of time and i always think huge amounts of time has passed during each book and its always mentioned hes a 14 year old boy and that still shocks me. Alex manages to stop the death of the schoolchildren while Rothman herself is killed when the dish equipment falls on top of her.Scorpia disbands after being beaten three times by a teenager, with most of its members being arrested and executed. After foiling a Triad plot to fix the 2001 Wimbledon tennis tournament and befriending Sabina, Alex is in grave danger of assassination. The next day, while Ash goes to the snakehead to retrieve the papers, Alex tails a suspicious-looking man who has been observing him since he landed in Bangkok. After Alex's cover is blown, Drevin learns that the CIA is gathering evidence against him and plans to retaliate by attacking the Pentagon. Alex's cover is blown by Nightshade's client, and he is used as a distraction while Frederick, Sofia, and 'Number Eleven' try to kill many at St Paul's Cathedral.
