Reluctant teenage superspy Alex Rider is useful to MI6 in ways an adult could never be. Now they need his help once again.
But a routine reconnaissance mission at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships sets off a terrifying chain of events for Alex that sees him on the run from a murderous Chinese Triad gang. Forced to hide out, Alex is sent to Cayo Esqueleto - Skeleton Key - an island near Cuba. Waiting for him there is General Alexei Sarov - a coldly insane Russian with explosive plans to rewrite history.
Alex faces his most dangerous challenge yet. Alone, and equipped only with a handful of ingenious gadgets, Alex must outwit Sarov, as the seconds tick away towards the end of the world...

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. When he was doing just the spy stuff, that was great, but then the story really fell off for me. First of all, the fact that Alex was constantly brushed off and ignored was frustrating. Like I get that he is a child, but he has proved himself many times already. Also, the incompetence of the CIA agents was insane! They honestly made the wrong move at every turn. Finally, the villain this time was crazy. He had such a boring run of the mill plan but was also so creepy and unnerving. I honestly couldn't stand him and hated eversecond he was on the page.
