  • "Am Abgrund vorbei: In Zukunft soll der Einsatz von Kinderagenten verboten sein, lässt der neue Premierminister verlauten. Alex Rider, dem Teilzeitagenten wider Willen, wäre nichts lieber als dies. Denn sein verdeckter Einsatz für den MI6 hat ihn ein ganzes Jahr seines Lebens gekostet. Gewalt und Mord begleiten den 14-Jährigen seit dem Tod seines Onkels. Jetzt will Alex einfach nur ein ganz normaler Schüler sein. Aber wiederum begegnet er widerwärtigen Typen, die ihn in einen neuen Fall verstricken. Ein schleimiger Journalist, ein kaltblütiger Aufsteiger und eine sadistische Gentechwissenschaftlerin sind hinter ihm her. Alex entlarvt den kriminellen Wohltäter, der in Indien ein Atomkraftwerk explodieren lässt und nach Afrika gentechverseuchtes Saatgut liefert, um aus den Katastrophen fetten Gewinn zu ziehen. Verfolgung, Entführung und Folter, Alex entkommt jeder Gefahr. Trotz Schmerzen und unter Todesdrohung behält er einen klaren Kopf. Seine Spezialwaffen vom MI6 retten ihn in letzter Sekunde. Äusserste Spannung durch das Weltbedrohungsszenario, bissige Ironie und viel Sympathie für den jungen Helden. Ab 12 Jahren, *****, Anne-Catherine Bayard."

So that is what he will produce: the biggest disaster known to man, all thanks to genetically modified corn that can release a virus so potent it can knock out an entire country in one windy day. But Alex Rider will face whatever it takes - gunfire, explosions, hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries - to bring down his most dangerous adversary yet."

  • "A charity broker con artist has raised millions of dollars in donations, only to invest them in a form of genetically modified corn that has the power to release an airborne strain of virus so powerful it can knock out an entire country in one windy day.
