A fully-certified MI6 spy, 17-year-old Alex has a lot of fun to catch up on. As his temporary guardian, Wolf isn't going to make it easy for him. Evidently, neither is Fate. Old enemies rise up from the ashes, Alex and K-unit take turns parenting each other, Wolf struggles with his psychotic ex, and everybody learns something new. T for swearing, themes and violence.

Alex and some of his school year are sent to Brecon Beacons as part of a new government initiative. Between extra training with K-unit and deceiving his classmates, Alex soon finds that he is trapped, and time is slowly ticking away... DISCLAIMER: I do not own Alex Rider.
