It's going to be so much fun to see where the story goes next! (yes, I have read this whole series before, but I've forgotten most of what happens in the second half) In Eagle Strike, Alex Rider gets acquainted with Damian Cray. He is bent on making the world a better place by destroying a large amount of countries. The history behind Alex is phenomenal. His uncle, an agent for MI6 and Alex's last family member, is killed on a mission for MI6 and Alex is recruited. The climax is intense and full of action.

The strange circumstances surrounding the loss of Alex’s uncle Ian Rider (played by Broadchurch’s Andrew Buchan) are borrowed from the first book, as is Alex’s reluctant recruitment by British Intelligence.When it becomes clear that Point Blanc and Greif's Gemini Project are exposed, he reports this to SCORPIA and researches Alex Rider. At the climax of the season, when MI6 cannot tell the difference between Alex and Dr. Greif's clone, Yassen shoots the clone from a sniper position, saving Alex.
