Storyline

When Alex Rider learns that his uncle Ian has been killed in the line of duty as a British spy - and not in a car accident like he's been told - everything changes for this otherwise normal teen. He is approached by Alan Blunt, head of a shadowy offshoot of MI6 known as The Department, who reveals that Alex has been unknowingly trained since childhood for the dangerous world of espionage. Pressured to help investigate his uncle's death - and how it connects to the assassination of two high-profile billionaires - Alex reluctantly assumes a new identity and goes undercover in a remote boarding school called Point Blanc. Isolated far above the snowline in the French Alps, Point Blanc claims to set the troubled teenage children of the ultra-rich back onto the right track. But as he digs deeper, Alex discovers that the students are in fact the subjects of a disturbing plan by the mysterious Doctor Greif - a plan which he will have to risk his life to stop.

User Reviews

Solid

One of the many problems the 2006 film had was that it had to start with in my opinion one of the worst books in the series, Stormbreaker. Clearly learning from their mistakes this time they began with the second book in the series, Point blanc. This in my opinion is one of the best books. This resulted in a well adapted series which, while it does have a few problems, is a solid series which I recommend to anyone who is or isn't a fan of the books.
