Snakehead (Alex Rider #7)

Snakehead is Anthony Horowitz's latest Alex Rider book.

Alex is just back from his previous mission and has once again vowed never to take on another. He finds himself in Australia and the intelligence agency there, ASIS, convinces him to take on another. They do this by assigning Alex's godfather to the mission. A godfather he did not know existed, but who knew his parents.

All Alex has to do is provide cover. They will be travelling as father and son - refugees paying their way illegally into Australia.

It should be an easy assignment. But, of course, it is not that simple. And once again Alex will come in contact with members of the notorious group Scorpia - the same group that killed his parents.
