Tetapi watak antagonis dalam naskah siri Alex Rider ni memang semuanya gila. Genius tapi gila. Tamak kuasa. Ingin menguasai dunia dengan kepandaian yang mereka miliki.

Skoda's real name is rumoured to be Jake, but Secret Weapon retcons this, saying that his birth name is Brian Smith. Skeleton Key was published in 2002. After foiling a Triad plot to fix the 2001 Wimbledon tennis tournament and befriending Sabina, Alex is in grave danger of assassination. Forced to leave the country, MI6 sends him on a mission to Cuba with two doubtful CIA agents, of whom he is the sole survivor. He encounters former Soviet general Alexei Sarov, who tries to adopt Alex and expresses ideas of a nuclear holocaust and world domination under communist rule. Alex then foils his plans saving the world for a third time. Ark Angel - Nikolei Drevin insisted that Alex joined him presumably to allow him to recover from his near-fatal "bicycle accident". Seeking revenge against Alex, the Clone Alex travels to London. Meanwhile, Kyra learns that her parents are dead and escapes the Department's safehouse. She visits Alex's school, where she and Tom talk about Point Blanc before parting ways. Putting his plan into action, the Clone Alex ruins Alex's relationships with Tom and a girl named Ayisha, who is in love with Alex. Meanwhile, Dr. Greif is assassinated by Yassen to conceal his true employers. Still troubled by his recent adventure and frayed friendship with Tom, Alex tells Mrs Jones about his encounter with a man with a scar. Mrs. Jones realises that Yassen Gregorovitch, whom the Department thought dead, is still alive and that SCORPIA, known for causing terrorist incidents, has come out of hiding. The Department also realises that Dr Greif's eighth clone is missing. At the school prom, the Clone Alex beats up and apprehends Tom, demanding that Alex meet him. Alex fights his Clone imposter on school grounds as the Department arrives. Tom manages to subdue the Clone Alex, who is arrested by the Department but breaks free. Yassen assassinates the Clone imposter, saving Alex's life. While Alex wants to return to a normal life, Blunt appears to have other plans for him...He's too good at what he does… too good at his job. And it's in his blood. It's rather odd. Most schoolboys dream of being spies. With Alex, we have a spy who dreams of being a schoolboy. Synopsis: After completing his first mission with MI6, teenage spy Alex Rider is sent on another quest: to discover the truth about Point Blank, a school for troubled youth. Posing as the son of a wealthy businessman, Alex goes to the school, only to be weirded out by what he sees. What secret could the director of Point Blank be hiding? Alex also befriended Tom Harris, when he was six. Tom tells Kyra how he and Alex came to be best friends. Apparently, when he was six, Alex was being bullied by some older kids. Tom didn't protect him but, Alex 'stood up for himself like he always does.' Later, Tom had a laugh about it with Alex and they became friends.

Yet, Tom helps Alex in his mission in any way possible. Later, when Alex meets Tom on the train after escaping from SCORPIA, Alex tells Tom everything about his involvement with MI6, his past missions and whatever he knows about SCORPIA.

Review

Alex Rider is originally stated as being "tall for his age" in Stormbreaker. Snakehead, however, claims him to be 5'7" and short for his age. [12] [13] However, in the novel Crocodile Tears (novel), once again he is described as getting noticeably taller. [24] Alex does not like horse riding. This is a notable irony about Alex, as his name is Rider - and riding is the only sport he hates. [18] Violence: Two or three chapters of intense, but non-graphic, action; a gruesome operation is described , but doesn't actually happen.

Alexander Rider was born on February 13, 1996, [14] in East London, England, to John Rider, an MI6 agent and Helen Rider, at the time working as a nurse in radiology.
