(3) YA Fourteen-year-old spy Alex Rider is once again called upon to assist Great Britain's intelligence agency. Alex is sent to an island near Cuba to observe a former Russian general who plans to detonate a nuclear device in order to restore communism to the world. As in previous episodes, the plot is intentionally preposterous, but the novel offers nonstop action, pulse-pounding suspense, and a playfully entertaining twist ending.
