Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz
A dark and shocking conclusion to the bestselling Alex Rider missions. In the final book in the number one bestselling Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, Alex is trying to get his life back on track. But Scorpia has returned, and when you’re the world’s most successful spy, the only way out is to face your enemies. Alex’s final mission will be the deadliest of all.
His ninth and final adventure cleverly combines the usual parodically convoluted plot with shrewd analysis of both teenage angst and geopoliticsThis country’s anxiety over our declining importance is a theme, but Alex, resourceful as Bond and world-weary as George Smiley, can make you feel still proud to be British. * Daily Telegraph *
