His father was a researcher of chemical properties and a biologist; engaged in research at the University of Moscow. He always kept the true nature of his job a secret from Yassen. I love Yassen. Not even kidding a little bit. He's so amazing. I remember first reading this book and having to wait for the next one to come out... and ever since then, my sisters and I have chosen to ignore The Ending.

Alex does not like horse riding. This is a notable irony about Alex, as his name is Rider - and riding is the only sport he hates. [18] I kind of think this is my favorite Alex Rider book so far. I did enjoy Point Blanc but this book is kinda a masterpiece. Here are a few reasons why: After Sabina leaves, Mrs Jones bring Alex inside, explaining that he would have compromised the service if they had exposed themselves to Sabina. He then tries to explain his suspicions about Cray once again, but Alan Blunt refuses to follow up on it on the basis that he believes it would be politically wrong if the press ever found out that MI6 were investigating Cray.Point Blanc - He cuts the window to his room with a CD player and uses a suit Smithers provided him with to ski down the mountain.

Yassen Gregorovich is killed when Damian Cray shoots him in Eagle Strike. Yassen tells Alex that he knew his father, and that he was working with him. His last words are, "Go to Venice. Find Scorpia. And you will find your destiny." Alex’s best friend at Brookland, Tom Harris, knows about Alex’s involvement with MI6 but unlike Alex’s other friend Sabina, is very supportive of him and covers for him whenever he needs it. [21] [24]Tom Harris is Alex's best friend but he isn't even mentioned in the first four books in the series. This may indicate that Alex is not very close to him. He makes his first appearance in Scorpia. Initially, Alex doesn't tell him anything about his involvement with MI6 and his mission of finding SCORPIA. Yet, Tom helps Alex in his mission in any way possible. Later, when Alex meets Tom on the train after escaping from SCORPIA, Alex tells Tom everything about his involvement with MI6, his past missions and whatever he knows about SCORPIA. Unlike with Sabina, Tom and his elder brother Jerry believe Alex immediately. Jerry teaches Alex BASE jumping and Alex BASE jumps into Consanto Enterprises.
