Alex Rider is
back in the eighth installment to the series called Crocodile Tears. He yet
again has to save the word, and this time, there is a virus so powerful that it
can destroy a country’s resources, and while doing that also making sure he secret
doesn’t get out.
The story begins with Alex, Sabina Pleasure, and her dad—
Edward Pleasure— going to a party hosted by a millionaire named Desmond McCain
in the Highlands of Scotland. Quickly, Alex finds himself in danger as the tire
of Edward's car blows on the icy road and they plummet into the deep below-freezing
lake. Back in London with his housekeeper and closest friend— Jack— he fights
people claiming to be an employer of Major Yu, the main antagonist of the
previous story. Long afterward, Alex is taken to Africa and tortured, and a man
who he had seen after he had gotten out of the lake saves him. Some of this
book reminds me of a movie called “Breakthrough” about a boy who falls into a
frozen lake and eventually comes out safe. This is a very good book for people
with time on their hands because once you start, you can’t stop reading it.
