About this ebook

In this thrilled, action-packed 13-page E-special, Alex Rider's training is put to the test!

Just a few months into his new life as Britain’s top superspy, Alex Rider is in need of some serious r&r. But what should have been a fun, relaxing vacation on the south of France turns deadly. Alex will need to use all of his training to get out of this tight spot, because there’s more than just his life at stake in this nail-biting story.

Ratings and reviews

This short story is a wonderful read for Alex rider fans. Although some of the logic is hard to follow, it is an okay read and definitely packs the same excitement as the Alex rider books do

Exciting, but too short for the money.

It was so realistic. I was Alex Rider
