Alex Rider is a 14 year old spy who is taking a break, just surfing and being a normal teen. When he is dragged back into action by MI6 agency, Alex finds himself trotting the globe trying to solve a mystery that is still unfolding. Alex faces a few hurdles in the process, from battling an aging communist with a deadly agenda, fighting off a shark, and being attacked a skilled nemesis.
I have no problem with a junior 007 style book, it leads to adventures that are both action packed and interesting. However the plot in this book is very old school 007 style with an outdated plot featuring old Russia and communism. This art was typical manga style, but not particularly creative or unique. While Alex Rider is a series, this book could function as a stand alone. Buy if you need to beef up your graphic novel selection.
