Scorpia has dogged Alex Rider for most of his life. They
killed his parents, they did their best to con Alex into
turning traitor, and they just keep coming back with more
power. Now the world's most dangerous terrorist organization
is playing with fire in the world's most combustible land:
the Middle East. No one knows Scorpia like Alex. And no one
knows how best to get to Alex like Scorpia. Until now.
The chases have never been more intense, the fights more
treacherous, or the risks so perilous to mankind. And this
time, Alex won't get away.
