The teenage spy Alex Rider has always been told he looks just like the father he never met. However, Alex's life is turned upside down when he finds out that his father could have been an assassin for Scorpia, the most potent and deadly terrorist group on the planet. Alex is no longer able to resist Scorpia, and they now want him on their side. That is, until he finds out about Scorpia's most recent scheme, an operation code-named "Invisible Sword" that is expected to claim thousands of lives. Will Scorpia definitively demonstrate that the horror will not be put an end to, or will Alex be able to halt the slaughter?
