This book different from the others isn't about Alex Rider. It is about the life of Yassen Gorvagich.

Well the story starts out as Yassen when he was younger living in a tiny village in Russia. Then one day there's an accident and Yassen runs away to Moscow.

“All that sadness. All that anger. It is the smoke that gets into your eyes. If you do not blow it away, how can you hope to see?” I like this quote because its true. Sometimes we are blinded by our sadness and anger.
