Product Description:
When Alex Rider crash-lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across Southeast Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and the knowledge that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.

I know it's only fiction and you need action for an action novel, but if has to be made reasonably believable to make fiction into great fiction.

Snakehead picks up exactly where Ark Angel left off with Alex falling ... Read More

SNAKEHEAD, the seventh book in Anthony Horowitz's New York Times bestselling Alex Rider series, marks the improbable return of Scorpia to the world stage. The international criminal organization, whose name stands for "sabotage, corruption, intelligence, and assassination," had been on a serious downward spiral thanks to Alex Rider, who made sure that their Invisible Sword operation went catastrophically wrong. However, Scorpia took revenge on their 14-year-old nemesis and was able to recover well enough ... Read More
