About this book

The first action-packed Alex Rider adventure is here! When his guardian dies in suspicious circumstances, fourteen-year-old Alex Rider finds his world turned upside down. Forcibly recruited into MI6, Alex has to take part in grueling SAS training exercises. Then, armed with his own special set of secret gadgets, he's off on his first mission to Cornwall, where Middle-Eastern multi-billionaire Herod Sayle is producing his state-of-the-art Stormbreaker computers - but there's more to the Herod Sayle than meets the eye. Shortlisted for the 2001 Children's Book Award; "Scorpia" reached No. 1 in the children's fiction bestseller list, and the series has sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone!
