Walker Books - Anthony Horowitz introduces us to Alex Rider: Crocodile Tears

Alex Rider's eighth adventure, Crocodile Tears is the most action-packed yet ... We go behind the scenes with Anthony Horowitz to bring you a sneak preview of what's in the book and he even gives us a glimpse of where it was written!

In Crocodile Tears, Alex Rider is targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media. So he reluctantly turns to MI6. But their help doesn't come cheap: they need Alex to spy on the activities at a GM crop plant. There he spots Desmond McCain, a high profile charity organiser, who realises that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he's raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of McCain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. Forced to ask MI6 for protection, Alex finds himself being manipulated in a deadly game that could lead to the destruction of an entire East African country.

Alex Rider is awesome but to be honest I didn't like the film, maybe because the books are just so much better

Finally a new book I read all of the other ones and I've been waiting for this for about a year

Sounds good, going to buy it. Please see my short video, with original footage from E Africa in the 1950's & 60's.
