The main villain is Razim. He feels no emotion. He‘s also obsessed with how
much pain a human can endure. He wants to create a measurement of pain.
As a child, to test if he really couldn’t feel emotions he killed his family.
The secondary villain is Julius Grief. He’s a clone of the main villain in
“Point Blanc”. He had plastic surgery to look like Alex and will do anything to
kill Alex.

The plot goes like this: Alex is attacked at school by a sniper and he takes
revenge by crashing their helicopter. MI6 send Alex to Cairo for a holiday but
while he is there MI6 make him go undercover. When he’s there he discovers
a plot that will send the world into chaos. A whole lot of action follows as he
tries to thwart the plot and take down Razim.

I would recommend this book to children 11 years and over because this
book contains murder and torture. If you like action this is your book.
In my opinion this book is better read after you read the rest of the series
but even if you haven’t read the rest you’ll still get a kick out of reading this.
