Alex Rider is a 14-year-old orphan who has been unwittingly trained all his life by his uncle with the skills to become a secret agent -- scuba diving, mountaineering, martial arts and so on. When his guardian, an MI6 agent, is killed, Rider learns the truth and finds himself forced against his will to take on a dangerous mission for the British secret service.
