When Alex splashes down from his space adventure at the end of Ark Angel, he is rescued off the coast of Australia. After Jack arrives and they've had a few days rest and relaxation, Australian intelligence, ASIS, offers Alex a job that he can't refuse. If he helps them with an operation meant to expose a plot by a group called Snakehead, his partner on the op with be able to give Alex information about his parents. The operative in question happens to be Alex's godfather, Ash, who is currently working for ASIS. Alex reluctantly agrees, even though he knows that this mission will be just as dangerous as the ones he has already faced, but he is desperate to learn more about his father.

Snakehead is another interesting entry in the Alex Rider series. Through Ash, we learn more about Alex's parents and what happened when they died. As with the other books in the series, there is a lot of action, suspense, and adventure. There is a major twist near the end of the story, but it had been foreshadowed so much, that it was not difficult to see it coming by the end. Overall, Snakehead continues the Alex Rider series with a bang. 3 1/2 stars. ( )

Alex Rider crash lands his space capsule in the ocean near Australia, and is immediately recruited by the Australian national police to help stop illegal human trafficking. All set to say no, they offer Alex a plum he cannot resist: working with his father's closest friend and learning more about his parents. While infiltrating the snakehead, Alex uncovers a plot by Scorpio to kill off peaceniks by creating a tidal wave. Alex is helped by his old "friends" in MI6, and has to save the day again. ( )

Alex makes it back to earth safely, but is promptly convinced to go on another spy mission, this time with his godfather with the idea that Alex will finally learn some things about his parents. Along the way we get an up close and personal look at people smuggling and betrayal. As always, Alex's quick thinking and uncanny luck save the day. ( )

I have to say: how is it that all the books so far have taken place within one year? He never seems to grow any older. I also thought Sabina used to be in Alex's class? But in this book she's a year or more older than him. Anyway, this is a good book. Feels a bit more serious, Alex finds out some rough stuff and there's a twist at the end I never saw coming. ( )

Could not put this book down. Love the series.

In this installment, Alex finds himself working for Australia, fighting against the deadly Snakehead. The mission is to go undercover as a refugee and gather intel on how the Snakehead smuggle, but Alex ends up biting more than he can chew.

Would recommend this to young adults and teenagers ( )

"Alex Rider brings readers to the edge of their seats and keeps them there until the final pages."

Splashdown. Alex Rider would never forget the moment of impact, the first shock as the parachute opened and the second - more jolting still - as the module that had carried him back from outer space had crashed into the sea.
