Alex Rider ha quattordici anni quando suo zio muore in un banale incidente d'auto perché, sostiene la polizia, non aveva allacciato le cinture di sicurezza. Ma è andata davvero così? Com'è possibile che il prudentissimo Ian Rider abbia commesso una simile sbadataggine? E poi Alex scopre che l'auto dello zio è stata crivellata di proiettili: si è trattato, insomma, di una vera e propria esecuzione. L'incredibile verità è che Ian Rider era una spia ed è stato ucciso nel corso di una pericolosa missione... e ora il capo dei Servizi segreti vuole che il ragazzo la porti a termine al posto dello zio assassinato. Solo, tra terroristi senza scrupoli, Alex dovrà ricorrere a tutto il suo coraggio per salvare la propria pelle e quella dei ragazzi di tutta l'Inghilterra... Una strepitosa avventura degna di James Bond, che terrà con il fiato sospeso lettori di ogni età.
