Alex Rider’s eighth adventure and the most action-packed yet...

Targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media, Alex reluctantly turns to MI6. But their help doesn’t come cheap: they need Alex to spy on the activities at a GM crop plant. There he spots Desmond McCain, a high profile charity organizer, who realizes that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he’s raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of McCain’s plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. And Alex is the only one who can stop it.

• Three mega events in London, Dublin and Glasgow.

• Three major media partnerships.

• Unmissable outdoor campaign.

Poppy and Graham choose their headteacher to be the corpse at the end of a murder mystery trail for the school fayre. But when the first person to finish discovers that the head really is dead, Poppy and Graham set out on a real life murder trail.
