Review - It's the first time Alex actually has to save the entire world from a mad man. It's also the first time he really sees an agent die. He has to face his own mortality. This book deals with some darker themes than the previous two Alex Rider novels (Stormbreaker and Point Blanc) - the literal end of the world, and madness. In this way, this book is probably better than the earlier two, but there is a lot less action which, when you read a spy novel, you expect. Hence the three stars rather than four.

i think that sarov is the best written villain in this series. you empathise with him on such a deep level and can sense that, at heart, he is a broken father who has lost his son and is angry at the world. he is a radical and a revolutionary and there’s real dimension to him. also, rereading this really emphasises just how young alex is, being exploited and used by everyone else- far from the wonder and awe i felt reading this as a preteen.
best book in the whole series.
