Alex Rider, teen spy, has always been told he is the spitting image of the father he never knew. But when Alex learns that his father may have been an assassin for the most lethal and powerful terrorist organization in the world, Scorpia, his world shatters. Now Scorpia wants Alex on their side, and Alex no longer has the strength to fight them. That is, until he learns of Scorpia’s latest plot: an operation known only as “Invisible Sword” that will result in the death of thousands of people. Can Alex prevent the slaughter, or will Scorpia prove once and for all that the terror will not be stopped?
A very exciting episode,either because this is where I stopped as a kid or because the stakes for Alex have jumped up tremendously and he's skating the thin end of the wire this time. Whatever the reason I enjoyed this a great deal and think apart from the opening novel it's by far my favourite, although I of course recognise that without a lot of background from the previous books that wouldn't really be the case.
