The computer is about to be given free to every school in the country, but there’s more to the gift than meets the eye… In Herod Sayle’s den, surrounded by enemies, Alex is in mortal danger. What if his first mission turns out to be his last? And with Armageddon on the horizon, can Alex resist his destiny? First in a storming series of bestsellers about teenage boy spy Alex Rider.
