The author writes this book in 3rd person. The story picks up moments before the last one ended. The characters are mainly Alex and his godfather also some soldiers he went to camp with and his guardian. After his other friend Sabrina arrives to surprise him. The book is very sunspensing and leaves you with questions even in the end. It has cliffhangers and makes you want to read more and more until you eventually finish it in one day.. As I read some other books from alex rider I find this had the most drama and action than the others while leaving you with thinking whats going to happen next. The characters are like real life and behave like normal people in real life. It said that Sabrina also grew a lot and she got fatter than before and that points that the characters grew a lot from last time. Some other books from this author is Stormbreaker, point blanc, skeleton key, eagle strike, scorpia and crocodile tears.
Opinion
This book quite shocked me. It was full of drama and made me kind of sad in some parts. People that like spying books mixed with action will love this book, well that are my idea of the book some people will probably think it’s a drama book. This is a great book and its recommend for young readers like my age. As it says in the picture below it’s the number 1 best seller! This book is the collector’s edition one with an extra chapter. Unfortunately it’s not being sold in Cyprus.
