It was a good book. But Ark Angel became more exciting than Scorpia. If you ask me to rate it from 1 to 5. I'd give it a 4.

'If you were to ask a boy aged between 8 and 12 who his greatest fictional hero is, the answer would probably not be Harry Potter, but Alex Rider.' The Times

'Will last forever as one of the children's classics of our age.' The Times
