Have you ever wished you could be a spy? Well this 14 year old spy wishes that he could just be a normal teenage boy. But when Alex (the teenage spy) goes on vacation with his friend Sabina Star, Alex and Sabina come back to find that there has been an explosion. Worse, Sabina’s dad was badly injured. Alex believes the explosion was intended to kill him, but the inspectors say the cause was a leaking gas pipe. Alex thinks that the cause is more than a leaking gas pipe. Will Alex be able to get out of this one in time, or will he stay in … forever?

I really like this book because of the action and adventure in it. It really makes the book, like when Alex (the teenage spy) goes to Damien Cray’s house to save his friends life, but with the cost of the only evidence that Alex has to prove to MI6 (the London secret service) that Damien Cray is plotting to launch off 25 nuclear missiles to 7 specific locations. But Alex has a plan to get his friend back and keep the evidence to prove to MI6 that he was right, and to send somebody to stop him. but will his plan work? That’s why I really liked this book.

This book is not only for kids but for adults too. I would give these book five paws, and I would recommend the rest of the series (the Alex rider adventures) too such as Stormbreaker, Point blank, and skeleton key. They are great! I give this five stars.

cake any one
