Alex Rider [9]

Rating: ☆
★★★★
Product Description
Scorpia has dogged Alex Rider for most of his life. They killed his parents, they
did their best to con Alex into turning traitor, and they just keep coming back
with more power. Now the world's most dangerous terrorist organization is
playing with fire in the world's most combustible land: the Middle East. No one
knows Scorpia like Alex. And no one knows how best to get to Alex like
Scorpia. Until now.
The chases have never been more intense, the fights more treacherous, or the
risks so perilous to mankind. And this time, Alex won't get away.
