Crocodile Tears By Anthony Horowitz

The latest book in the Alex Rider series written by the amazing Anthony Horowitz, Crocodile Tears, is an amazingly gripping book which you just don't want to let go of. If you've read any Alex Rider book before and if you know Anthony Horowitz, you'll know that he puts so much suspense and action into it. While reading, you literally get a feeling of trepidation as to what is going to happen next?

 

For me this was one of the best out of the best out of the 9 Alex Rider books (though I have yet to read the 9th one). The plot that has been thought of, is GENIUS! The idea of a genetically modified corn that can release a virus so potent it can knock out an entire country in one windy day, is just amazingly thought of. I wouldn't want to reveal much more to you now, so I'll just give the main plot.


Synopsis: Targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media, Alex reluctantly turns to MI6. But their help doesn't come cheap: they need Alex to spy on the activities at a GM crop plant. There he spots Desmond Cain, a high profile charity organizer, who realizes that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he's raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of Cain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions of people. Getting word to MI6 only makes matters worse. Now, before even facing the real enemy, Alex must also stop his own side before they unwittingly trigger the death of a whole nation.

An action packed book everyone should read! :D
