Description
What goes up must come down, and when we last saw Alex Rider, he was as up as can be—in outer space. When he crash lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across South East Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.

From the slums of Bangkok to the Australian Outback to the middle of the Timor Sea, Snakehead is Alex Rider’s most action-packed adventure yet.

        Gr 7 Up -"Snakehead" begins right where "Ark Angel" (Philomel, 2006) ended. After splashing down in Australian waters, Alex Rider is taken to Sydney and immediately recruited by ASIS, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. They need him to pose as an Afghan immigrant boy to provide cover for an agent who is working to uncover information about a human smuggling operation. Alex reluctantly accepts, only because the agent is his godfather and the last person to have seen his parents alive. From the moment the teen arrives in Bangkok, virtually everything about the operation goes wrong. Narrowly escaping death, he ends up in a wooden box being smuggled to Australia and in the middle of something even more horrifying than the smuggling. All of the things that readers have come to love about Alex Rider are here: the globe-trotting settings, the ripped-from-the-headlines plot, the uncertain alliances, and the nonstop action."Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZ"

        The seventh Alex Rider book picks up where Ark Angel (2006) left off, as Alex is pulled from a spaceship off the coast of Australia. He soon goes to work for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (which offers him a mission working with his long-lost godfather, Ash), and is eventally brought face to face with the head of the terrorist Snakehead orgnization. The convoluted plot, nearly constant action, and clever gadgets will intrigue readers as Alex crosses the world, and Ash reveals new information about Alexs parents and their untimely demise. Satisfying escapism for series fans or series newcomers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)

        The Australian Secret Service wants Alex to investigate a people-smuggling ring. Working with a godfather he never knew about, Alex agrees to help but steps into more danger than he expected, including chasing down a bomb for his old friends at MI6. Written tightly and with a bit more character development than other titles in the series, this is a suspenseful addition.
