The world’s
greatest teen spy is back in action in a thrilling new mission: destroy once
and for all the terrorist organization SCORPIA. Americans may have purchased
more than 6 million copies of Alex's adventures, but now, more than ever,
we all need his heroics.
Following the events of Scorpia Rising,
Alex relocates to San Francisco as he slowly recovers from the tragic death of
his best friend and caregiver, Jack Starbright, at the hands of terrorists
working for SCORPIA. With Jack gone, Alex feels lost and alone, but then, out
of the blue, he receives a cryptic email--just three words long, but enough to
make Alex believe that Jack may be alive. Armed with this shred of hope, Alex
boards a flight bound for Egypt and embarks on a dubious quest to track Jack
down.
Yet SCORPIA knows Alex's weakness. And the
question of whether Jack is alive soon takes a backseat to a chilling new
terrorist plot--one that will play with Alex’s mind as he grasps the
magnitude of what is at stake.
From Egypt to France to Wales, from luxury
yachts to abandoned coal mines, Alex traverses a minefield of dangers and
cryptic clues as he fights to discover the truth. The #1 New York
Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of James Bond and Jason
Bourne, is back with a vengeance!
