Summary
The final audiobook in the #1 best-selling Alex Rider series!
Alex Rider's life changed forever with the silent pull of a trigger. When Ian Rider died at the hands of the assassin Yassen Gregorovich, Alex, ready or not, was thrust into the world of international espionage. He's the world's only teenage spy. Alex vowed revenge against Yassen and the two have battled ever since. Yet, years ago, it was none other than Alex's own father who trained and mentored Yassen, turning him into the killer he would eventually become.
What makes us choose evil? Why did one boy choose to kill while another chose to risk his life to save others? In some ways, Alex Rider and Yassen Gregorovich are mirror images of each other. Yet the paths they traveled turned them into mortal enemies. This is Yassen's story. A journey down a darkened path.

Horowitz at his best !
The story of Yassin is told in pain staking, page turning detail. All the way from an obscure Soviet village to the fateful meeting with Alex Rider on top of a London skyscraper many years.

Very well done!
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I expected setting out. Every Alex Rider book is great but I never expected one devoted to another character in the series to be so interesting. It was great to her about Yassans life upto him meeting Alex. Very good idea and well executed!

Beyond Alex Rider
Anthony Horowitz has in this book created an engaging, action-packed back story for Yassan Gregorovich, the hitman lurking in the shadows of the excellent Rider books. Whilst keeping just the right side of traumatic, he weaves a troubling, at times Dickensian-style story of survival. He raises and underscores the moral dilemmas of life with few choices. The performance was also excellent. The whole family enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
