Russian Roulette: The Story of an Assassin by Anthony Horowitz
5.0
The best Alex Rider book isn't about Alex Rider?
Yes. Just Yes.
This prequel concerns Alex Rider's enemy, Yassen Gregorvich, and his rise to become the deadly assassin he was in the main series. Yassen's story is deeply personal, and it's much more interesting to read about Yassen's exploits because he DOESN'T have MI6 behind him.
This book is a great showcase of how Yassen became who he was when he met Alex. Unlike other stories, it does not redeem him, but rather just gives more context on why he became an evil man doing evil things.
I'm gonna read this again.
