Alex Rider is an orphan turned teen superspy who's saving the world one mission at a time--from #1 New York Times bestselling author

Alex Rider's life changed forever with the silent pull of a trigger.

Every story has a beginning. For teen secret agent Alex Rider, that beginning occurred prior to his first case for MI6, known by the code name Stormbreaker. By the time Stormbreaker forever changed Alex's life, his uncle had been murdered by the assassin Yassen Gregorovich, leaving Alex orphaned and craving revenge. Yet when Yassen had a clear shot to take out Alex after he foiled the Stormbreaker plot, he let Alex live. Why?

This is Yassen's story. A journey down the darker path of espionage.

Like a James Bond for young readers, international #1 bestseller Anthony Horowitz delivers a blockbuster thrill ride.
