I love Alex Rider books! They are amazing! I can't wait to read Crocodile Tears. I bet it is going to be fantastic like all the other books." The story starts when the protagonist, Alex, attends a New Year party in Scotland with a friend of his and her father, a journalist. He meets the owner of the remote castle where it is held, a seemingly reformed businessman who was sent to jail for fraud (arson). The man now runs a charity called First Aid, which tries to be first on the scene to any disaster, and has recently assisted in India where a nuclear power station had a leak (which the prologue has shown was actually sabotage). The man seems startled when he later comes upon Alex and his friend's father discussing his homework about GM crops. When Alex leaves shortly afterwards in the company of his friend and her father, their car suffers an 'accident' which is nearly fatal. Dont get me wrong, I love Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series. I've been reading them for 2 years ever since a librarian recommended his first story in the series. But...the stories all have one thing in common thats really starting to bother me.

I was waiting for ages for the book to come out and when it did it was absolutely phenomenal. I would definitely recommend it." Petski, Denise (10 November 2020).

I’m really enjoying these Alex Rider books. Even though they are marketed as YA (and I am a little bit older than that, perhaps even considered OA), they are a delight to read. I’m plowing through them at a rate of one a month this year so, since it is August, this must be the eighth book in the series. An engineering technician, Ravi Chandra, plants a bomb in the nuclear reactor of the Jowada Nuclear Power Station in India, after being persuaded to do so by a European man who promises him a lot of rewards. However, the bomb explodes when activated, killing Chandra, the European having lied that there was a ten-minute countdown; however, the unsuspecting Chandra had followed the man's instructions to open an unnecessary emergency exit in the reactor room, to let the radiation out and poison the city. Among the charities to respond to the disaster is First Aid, a British charity known for its unfailing generosity and being there as soon as possible.Do you like action? Adventure? James Bond? If you do, it is a great book to read. It comprises of high octane action and surprises in all corners of the story. It will leave you suspended, heart broken, and joy.
