"Targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media, Alex reluctantly turns to MI6. But their help doesn't come cheap: they need Alex to spy on the activities at a GM crop plant. There he spots Desmond McCain, a high profile charity organiser, who realises that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he's raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of McCain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. Forced to ask MI6 for protection, Alex finds himself being manipulated in a deadly game that could lead to the destruction of an entire East African country"--Amazon.com.

Great book submitted by Memoria1224 on July 31, 2011, 1:55pm This is a terrific book! I loved reading it.

Worst book in Alex Rider series do not read! submitted by jkl on August 11, 2011, 8:43pm This is the worst book in the Alex Rider series. It sucks. Just don't read it.

Still Read It submitted by tree64 on August 17, 2011, 10:48pm I am not disrespecting jkl's opinion, but I think that this book is still worth reading. Although it is not the best in the series, I don't think it was the worst either, and you should definitely still read it. After all, why would you read every other book in the series except for one?

Eh submitted by xjasx on June 16, 2012, 10:54pm It was a good book, still good for the series, but not one of my favorites.

jaw dropping submitted by shalinigurl on June 27, 2012, 1:21pm this book is jaw dropping and heart stopping!

Ehhh.. submitted by jenny2012 on July 24, 2012, 7:10pm Not one of the best...

spies submitted by unknown on July 31, 2013, 12:39am I don't think this one is very good.

Meh submitted by c_zhang on June 28, 2019, 12:10am Not the best of the series.

Amazing Book submitted by me11yagn on August 26, 2019, 6:53pm This book touched on the area of Africa. I think it provided some information in regards to the country. I was fascinated by Desmond Mccain's abilities.
