After Alex's last mission he is put in a ward and is carefully looked after. He has a operation after being shot by a sniper. The shot barely missed his heart and Alex was extremely lucky. Unfortunately the boy in the next ward is suffering from appendicitis and is the son of a very rich man and he is very well known. Alex is determinded to leave his spying days behind him but of course MI6 are not happy to let him be and niether are the baddies. Alex is captured and is left in a cell in a building that is for rent. The baddies Kasper and his gang of four are sure that Alex is not really Alex and is the son of Nikolei Drevin. However, that is the boy next door to Alex, Vladimar. So the gang find Alex useful and leave him in a burnng building. Of course Alex is clever and finds a way out.
Nikolei Drevin is very worried and invites Alex to spend some time with him and his son Paul. Of course it is all a set up and Paul has no idea how dangerous his father really is. Nikolei had the idea of the first space hotel and he immediately starts building. The space hotel starts costing more and more money and then Nikolei decided to destroy it. However, it would destroy most of Washington. That is where Alex's legal guardian Jack Starbright is, who is the only human being who really understands him. So, Alex can not let this operation continue. Alex is determined and there is another agent on the island were the spaceship carrying the bomb is. Paul has no idea about his father and when Alex tells him he does not believe him and is shot.
This book made me feel very sad when Paul found out about his father and a bit like I wanted to go and help Alex figure out the obvious. My favourite character was Alex bacause he was strong and never gave up and as the day that the bomb was to be blown up wore on, he got more worried. This gave him strength to drive him on and finally defeat Nikolei Drevin, Kasper and his gang once and for all. I highly recommend this book.
