The series follows Alex, a London-based teenager who has unknowingly been trained since childhood for the dangerous world of espionage. My first one is for Yassen Gregorovich." He turned to the Russian. "Why are you working for this lunatic?" That's what makes you such a great spy. It isn't that you were made one or trained to be one. It's just in that in your heart you are one. It looks like Alex ‘has a lot going on’ and is struggling to balance his espionage with being a ‘normal’ teenager.

Smithers • Ben Daniels • Sabina Pleasure • Bill Tanner • Anan Sukit • Hermann De Wynter • Marc Damon After Sabina leaves, Mrs Jones bring Alex inside, explaining that he would have compromised the service if they had exposed themselves to Sabina. He then tries to explain his suspicions about Cray once again, but Alan Blunt refuses to follow up on it on the basis that he believes it would be politically wrong if the press ever found out that MI6 were investigating Cray. We have an hour before we have to leave," Cray said. "So I thought I might tell you a little about myself. I thought it might pass the time."

Eagle Strike is another excellent instalment in the Alex Rider series. Alex is a believable and appealing hero and, while the situations he finds himself in are extraordinary and sometimes rather outlandish, he always manages to battle through. He’s still only 14 but Alex is maturing fast and is willing and capable to stand up to threats that MI6 shy away from. The return of Yassen Gregorovich was well done, with some lingering questions from Stormbreaker being answered and some new mysteries begun. In addition to Gregorovitch, there were a good number of thugs and henchmen for Alex to fight, with Damian Cray being a menacing if loopy “big bad”. The machinations of Cray probably place Alex, as well as the world, in the greatest danger yet faced in the series. As well as members of the original cast, there will be some recognisable new faces in the second season of Alex Rider. Skeleton Key - He was sent to "work" for the CIA, originally meant to watch from the sidelines until his "family" finished their work. You're trying to tell me that everything you've done is for a good cause. You think that all this killing is worth it because of the results. I'm not sure I agree. Lots of people work for charity; lots of people want to change the world. But they don't have to behave like you.”
