This book had probably the most dangerous plan planned by the antagonist in the whole series, maybe even worse than Damian Cray's plan. It is about a charity CEO, named Desmond Mccain, who is a man who created the charity "First Aid", which was the first charity to help the countries with disasters in them. But he is also a ruthless monster, he created the disasters just so he could get the money, and realizing that he could get 200 million from the disaster featured in this book, he almost ended the world but luckily Alex Rider once again comes in and fights against him. I liked how Desmond Mccain, since he was famous he wasn't extremely short or different than on the magazine, TV, etc. He was actually 7 feet tall and he wasn't shy at all. To me this book had the most dangerous planned disaster and I was really scared that Alex wasn't going to prevent it all from happening. I loved it a ton and it was a 100% charming book that I would recommend to people who love action.

A con artist has realized there is big money in charity? the bigger the disaster, the greater the money flow! So that is what he will produce: the biggest disaster known to man, all thanks to genetically modified corn that can release a virus so potent it can knock out an entire country in one windy day. But Alex Rider will face whatever it takes?gunfire, explosions, hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries? to bring down his most dangerous adversary yet.
Often imitated, never equaled, the series that triggered a reading phenomenon is back, exhilarating and addictive as ever.
