Snakehead: 7 (Alex Rider) : Horowitz, Anthony, Stevens, Dan

I don't pretend to have any idea as to how spec ops operate, but: a delicate mission like this and they build a crew of the most experienced 20-yer-olds? Anthony Horowitz also describes a Chinese character as a "chinaman" at one point, a term I thought we had kinda left behind at this point. The book starts off with Alex crashing into the ocean from space after his last mission of destroying the Ark Angel space station. Yasha is a teenager with a best friend named Leo and parents working at a laboratory, living near Moscow. Since then, he rejoins Scorpia, kills many others, and then fails to kill Alex Rider after the young agent foils Stormbreaker, and in the end sacrifices himself for Alex, remembering how John saved his life once.

The mechanic shoots Sharksvosky and one of the two guards, but the second is killed by Yassen, who steals a gun and holds the mechanic at gunpoint. There, he is recruited by ASIS, Australia's secret service, to infiltrate a Snakehead organization by posing as an Afghan refugee. Scorpia Rising - released 21 March 2011 in Australia, 22 March 2011 in the US and 31 March 2011 in the UK. But it did still have that feel of the earlier Alex Rider books where he thinks he is going to be fine at the beginning but then everything changes and he get's captured.
