Editorial Review:

Product Description:
What goes up must come down, and when we last saw Alex Rider, he was as up as can be—in outer space. When he crash lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across South East Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.

From the slums of Bangkok to the Australian Outback to the middle of the Timor Sea, Snakehead is Alex Rider’s most action-packed adventure yet.

Rating: - Alex rider Snake head
So, after 2005's Ark Angel, still an extremely good book, but not as much so as the stunning Scorpia, Anthony Horowitz diversified into his equally good Power Of Five series but now i am pleased to say, Alex Rider is back and Snakehead is a resounding success.

I found this an exciting book but was let down by the OTT ending.
The slow-burn start was great and more realistic than throwing Alex into a near death experience on page 1.
The middle was fast pasted and well plotted.
However the end was just too rushed and over the top for me.
I know it's only fiction and you need action for an action novel, but if has to be made reasonably believable to make fiction into great fiction.

If you've read the previous books in the Alex Rider series you will know that Alex rider is a boy that has to do things which no boy at the age of fourteen would every think of doing and with a climactic ending to the Ark Angel (the previous book in the series) Alex Rider is back with all of his gadgets and gizmos, moves and of course enemies in Snakehead, the seventh installment in this exhilarating series of books.

Snakehead picks up exactly where Ark Angel left off with Alex falling ... Read More

Rating: - Horowitz manages to pull off a stunner of a plot twist that even the most avid fans of the series probably won't see coming
SNAKEHEAD, the seventh book in Anthony Horowitz's New York Times bestselling Alex Rider series, marks the improbable return of Scorpia to the world stage. The international criminal organization, whose name stands for "sabotage, corruption, intelligence, and assassination," had been on a serious downward spiral thanks to Alex Rider, who made sure that their Invisible Sword operation went catastrophically wrong. However, Scorpia took revenge on their 14-year-old nemesis and was able to recover well enough ... Read More
