Nightshade

Written by Anthony Horowitz

Narrated by Rupert Degas

Following the shocking events of Never Say Die, Alex Rider's world has changed: his biggest enemy, the evil organization Scorpia, has been destroyed. Alex is hoping his life can finally go back to normal, that he can go to school and spend time with his friends--but very quickly everything changes. A new and dangerous criminal organization--Nightshade--is rising.

When Alex discovers they've planned a mysterious attack on London, he will stop at nothing to take them down. But protecting his home city means facing off a ruthless new enemy and putting his life at stake, again. And this time, there's no one to save him if he makes a mistake.

Reviews for Nightshade

[Rosh145 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The narrator was on point ? and the story was a real page turner.

I had mixed feelings about Alex Rider being brought back since him being the "Reluctant Spy" gave the book more of an edge. MI6 had to always find new ways to coerce him to do their dirty work for them. I thought book10 (Russian Roulette) or even 11 (Never say Die) was the perfect ending to the series. Where he finally gets his life back.

But I have to say, it's good to have him back. Can't wait for the next one.
