The bed was modern, but the room was oldwith beams running across the ceiling, a stone fire-place, and narrow windows in an ornate woodenframe. A similar idea was used in the "Stormbreaker" movie too, but Alex had to exit the goal through a chimney, rather than through the sewer. It was the only room thatwas always locked—Alex had only been in there threeor four times, and never on his own. He tried to move, then was jerked backa second time as the car was yanked off the groundand tilted high up in the air. In 2006, it was adapted into a motion picture of the same name directed by Geoffrey Sax and starring Alex Pettyfer, Mickey Rourke, and Ewan McGregor.The aim of the attack was to kill hundreds of thousands of British schoolchildren and their teachers. There was a bathroom leading off from the bed-room—bright white tiles and a huge shower behinda cylinder of glass and chrome. He had beenworking undercover here in England, in Cornwall,and was driving back to London to make a reportwhen he was killed. Intending to use him to covertly investigate Sayle, MI6 recruits Alex by essentially blackmailing him: they reveal that, as Ian's sole heir and next of kin, he left his house and money to Alex, in trust until he turns twenty-one. As MI6 controls the trust, if Alex does not co-operate, Jack (whose visa expired seven years earlier) will be deported back to America after prosecution, his house will be sold and he will leave his school and friends for an academy until he is of age.

Stormbreaker - Wikipedia

Alex investigates the mine and, following the path left by his uncle, discovers a large computer manufacturing facility, where the Stormbreaker computers are being filled with a strange fluid. A video game adaptation of the film was released in 2006 under the name of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The book was released in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2000, and in United States release on 21 May 2001, where it became a New York Times Bestseller.

With no choice, Alex reluctantly agrees, and they put him through eleven days of a gruelling SAS training programme at the country estate, before deploying him to Herod Sayle's base in Cornwall, using the alias of another boy, Felix Lester, who won a competition to visit the plant and be the first child to use a Stormbreaker. Knowing that he is facing his uncle's killer, Alex tells Yassen he will one day kill him, but Yassen brushes aside the comment and advises Alex to drop the spy business and become a normal schoolboy again, before leaving in the helicopter. He draws the gun he took from a guard back at Sayle's mansion and fires blindly at the Stormbreaker computer being used to activate all the rest, destroying it.

Summary: After the death of the uncle who had been his guardian, fourteen-year-old Alex Rider is coerced to continue his uncle’s dangerous work for Britian’s intelligence agency, MI6. The car wasno longer a car but the fist of some hideous monstersnatching at the insect that Alex had become. Alex Rider has all the information that he needs and he contacts M16 so as to come and get him out of the jail.

Alex uses his acne cream to dissolve the tank’s metal support girders, causing the tank to break open and gallons of water to flood the room. I don’t quite know what Crawley was think-ing of, having you shot like that, but I suppose it wasthe easiest way. Finally,clinging to the black, oily surface of the observationplatform at the back of the crusher, he dragged him-self clear and managed to stand up.
