New book! Alex Rider: Nightshade Revenge

As Alex dives deep into this latest mission, his friend isn’t the only one whose life is on the line. Nightshade has entered the world of virtual reality gaming, and the lines between what’s real and what’s digital are being blurred everywhere. With a ruthless enemy fighting dirty and not caring who gets hurt along the way, the stakes have never been higher–and this time, it’s personal. Mrs Jones reveals that she did not want to be a spy; she started out wanting to be a humanitarian, working to stop bad things happening in foreign countries. She was at university, preparing a doctoral thesis on climate change and how it affects developing countries, when she was approached to work at Special Operations. She started as an analyst, before eventually becoming Alan Blunt’s second in command. In that time, she met a German political writer called Hans, who she fell in love with and married (though she kept her maiden name). Later, they became parents to two children, a boy called William and a girl called Sofia. Alex saw their picture at Mrs Jones’ apartment, when SCORPIA sent him to kill her (as depicted in Scorpia); this revelation startles him, as he thought of them as a nephew and niece, never once believing Mrs Jones to be a mother. On pg 207 Dr Flint refers to Alex by his name in front of Freddy whilst Alex was undercover as 'Julius'.

With daring chase scenes, a brilliant immersive gaming sequence, and a nail-biting final showdown, this new adventure brings the world’s best-loved teen superspy his biggest challenge yet.
