Russian Roulette (Alex Rider)

Product Information

In the first chapter of Crocodile Tears alone, a devastating nuclear disaster is set off. We hear what happens to those in the room where the first explosion is triggered. Graphically. The first chapter. (Then the book's Dragon gets eaten by crocodiles, and the Big Bad himself gets blown up by a drum full of jet fuel. Really, child's play for Horowitz.)

Razim gives lots of absolutely horrible and disgusting deaths to innocent people in his sadistic "experiments". Mrs. Jones defies the trope in Scorpia. Although she had the chance to correct Alex about how his father died she didn't because she didn't want to use him the way Julia Rothman did.Alex Rider is a series of spy novels by the English author Anthony Horowitz. The novels revolve around a teenage spy named Alex Rider and is primarily aimed towards young adults. The series currently comprises 14 novels, as well as six graphic novels, seven short stories, and a supplementary book. Refusal of the Call: Alex refuses Blunt's initial request in the first book, but is forced to change his mind when Blunt outlines what will happen otherwise. Three books later in Eagle Strike, Alex decides that whatever Yassen is planning is not his business, but changes his mind when he realises that Yassen had been hired to assassinate Sabina's father.

Yassen finds out that John Rider worked for MI6, as he found a special Power Plus radio transmitter in his bag. Yassen comes to the decision to kill Sharkovsky, and he travelled to the ' dacha'. He confronts the man in his study alone, and discovers he is now in a wheelchair and a very weaken state. Yassen reveals his heritage from Estrov and blames Sharkovsky for the death of his family and friends and the life that he lead, to which Sharkovsky shows no remorse. He then plays a reversed game of Russian Roulette (5 bullets and one empty chamber) on himself infront of Sharkovsky as a last chance to avoid his future life as a killer. Miraculously, Yassen survives and believes that fate has chosen this life for him. He then proceeds to vengefully kills Sharkovsky by shooting him between the eyes. He then kills Ivan (who walked immediately in the study room after he heard the shot) by shooting him once in the head and twice in the heart. Emotionlessly praising his revenge, and that he had killed for the first and second times in his life, he leaves Silver Forest. Myra Bennett tries to feed Alex to several crocodiles in a pool of water. Guess who falls in the pool? Hint: not Alex. Just Between You and Me: Every book. The exception is Scorpia, where Alex and the COBRA cabinet manage to work out the plan themselves.And of course he later receives probably the worst death of all: falling into a salt pit and slowly being crushed to death. Ark Angel: The Place title yet again. In this case, the name of the hotel IN SPACE that Drevin is working on. Villain Decay: In-Universe example; Scorpia's credibility is seriously affected when a fourteen-year-old boy destroys two of their operations and (indirectly) kills two of their executives within a few months. The failure of their plan in Scorpia Rising results in the organisation disbanding. Our Hero Is Dead: The ending of the penultimate chapter and beginning of the final chapter of Skeleton Key imply that Alex is dead before it turns out that Sarov killed himself, not Alex.
