"I think that the book is good so far. it has alot of fight and violence. It still is a good book. i would give it a 4.5 out of five right now. why because it just dropped some parts of the book. but other than that the book is exellent. i would recomend it to fans of action books. My favorite charechter is ash just because he is alex's godfather. The villian in this book is major yu. he is tring to kill eight celebirties. he is planning on using a bomb called royal blue. This book is action packed and it is just awesome and it keeps you on edge to the end. i think everbody should read all of you would love it i think. There are eight books in the series as of right now. gocheck out the other books they are really good. this series is about spies and terriost and smuggling and bad orginizations if you like those get this series. so like i sad if you like any of those go get this series right now. there is so much it just keeps you on edge and dont stop reading. so if you like the books tell other people about them."

    " The book is as good as the others in the series but I liked the Alex Rider books that include Scorpia. Although, (view spoiler)[ Ash being a Scorpia agent seem obvious from the time he started telling stories about Alex's parents. (hide spoiler)] Overall, though, it seems fairly well. Short but good.

    " If you are looking for an action packed mystery book, look no further. Alex Rider is yet again called for duty. This takes place after the book, Ark Angel. Alex splashes down in the ocean off of Australia, and spends some time to r&r. Sadly it does not last. He is called upon by the ASIS, and finds out that he will be working with his godfather, ASH. Alex wants to learn more about his past, but he soon realizes that he is now battling one of the largest organized crime figure in the world, Scorpia, and they have a plan for him. The whole Alex Rider series is fantastic. I would recommend it to all of my friends, and anyone that enjoys a good action mystery thriller. "

    " I was really concerned about the author running out of ideas seeing as the last book literally went into the final frontier (for a really contrived reason). Snakehead recovered well and proved that the true final frontier was in South East Asia. Clever throughout and amazingly showed a nice touch of real world problems in the form of refugees. "

    " Just finished this book since my trip from Phoenix. This is the first of the Alex Rider books that I have read... not bad. Alex Rider is a little 14 year old James Bond. This book has been nominated for the Colorado Blue Spruce Award by young adults. I will be curious to see how it measures up in the eyes of other young adults once the voting is in. "

    " This book is the second greatest Alex rider books I've read so far. In this one Alex works for Australia, and there isn't much of a change to the story. This series is more of a feel good series then a confusing plot filled book. it's an easy read, but it's very enjoyalble. "
