Alex Rider, the teenage spy working for MI6, returns in his most personal mission yet. Sent to Venice, he infiltrates Scorpia, the secret organization tied to his father’s death. As a double agent, he uncovers Scorpia’s deadly “Invisible Sword” plan—poisoning thousands of British children via nanoshell injections activated by terahertz waves. In a high-stakes mission aboard a hot-air balloon, Alex thwarts the plot, but controversy erupts when Scorpia executes a sniper attack on him upon his return.
