It is up to Alex Rider to save the world again. He is no longer a 14 year old spy. He is 15.
this is the final book in the Alex Rider series. I remember the first book I read of this series and the whole time I read it I was thinking this doesn't seem beleivable. But then I realized that I was reading book number 4. So I started from book number one and enjoyed every moment of the ride.
this last book in the series was worth it as well. Fun read for boys of all ages. Girls too.

Damn... I think that was one of my favourite Alex rider books... Which I mean it shouldn't be because a lot of really crappy things happened to Alex in this particular book.. Is that a spoiler?
This is the 9th book in the Alex rider series and it's actually the last book, the 10th book is a prequel (which I can't wait to read!!!)
Scorpia is back, as is evident by the title, they have new recruits and are believed to be better than ever. Which means that they have some scores to settle with Alex Rider.
On a completely unrelated matter, Alex finds himself being shot at in the middle of a maths lesson and sent away on a mission to Egypt "for his own protection", this time however Jack will not leave his side and an agent will go with him for backup.
***** SPOILERS AHEAD *****
SERIOUSLY, BE WARNED THESE ARE SOME MAJOR SPOILERS....
This book is on one hand quite different from the others but on the other it is also quite similar. First of all Jack puts her foot down ... And leads to the downfall of everything and her eventual death... I mean I don't blame her for Alex's traumatic experience... But I kinda do though...
Honestly when Julius Grief was mentioned I freaked out because my god do I not like that guy! He seriously freaks me out as anything else to do with cloning and other futuristic things tends to do. I have to say that I was quite satisfied that he died in the end.
I mean I don't know what kind of person this makes me but I have to say that the scene where Alex was following Julius with like a gun and everything was one of my favourite scenes... There was just something about how his eyes were so empty and how he was calmly following this guy with a gun. He just had no emotion and for once he wasn't the one who was being followed, he wasn't the one who was panicking. Also I just felt that he seemed so much like Yassen... I don't know why but I kept catching little moments that I remember happening with Yassen, like the thing of how Alex felt that he was being watched at the school and noticed Julius at the window... That reminded me of how Alex was following Yassen in France and how Yassen felt as though he was being watched... And then at the end the scary calm coming from Alex as he followed Julius.. Just ... Aaah... I cannot express why I enjoyed that scene so much... I just felt that it had so much more emotion than any of the other scenes.. Which is ironic because this is the scene where Alex is emotionless...
Oh well... This was so much fun! Much better than the previous one!! Can't wait to read more about Yassen... And yeah.. End of rant.

I'm really glad I found out there's another one after this.

Another adventure where our reluctant hero reluctantly returns to the spy world and reluctantly does spy stuff to save the world - no - to stop some Greek artefacts being returned to Greece where they rightfully belong, what a hero.
Okay, admittedly there is a little bit more to it than that, but this series has possibly overstayed its welcome by now. Overly tropey with standard spy world baddies, this hasn't aged all that well. Being the 'last' book in the series (at the time) there were also some predictable things that happened.
The big issue going in to the book was that Alex Rider himself doesn't feature in the story until page 127 and I'd almost had enough by that point.
