Alex Rider Adventures: Book 7, Snakehead
by Anthony Horowitz

The life of a spy is glamorous and wonderful, like you see in movies. Well life isn't like the movies Alex found that out when he became a spy. His life has been all lies and trickery ever since. I'd ask Alex what it felt like, but he has expressed some hatred towards his spy friends.

His father was a supposed great spy. Then he was a horrible killer, then he was an honorably great spy. He found out the truth about his father, whom he hadn't even met before. Then he learned a different truth. Then he was told the real truth.

His God-Father, that is also a spy. Used to work for the same company as Alex's father. But then he transfered to Australian spying because of an that happened in the field. He met Alex a couple of times when Alex was a baby but ultimately gave custody to Alex's Uncle, then when Alex's uncle died Alex was in the hands of Jack. A real hero he was made out to be, he was there when the plane that carried Alex's parents blew up. During Snakehead(Book 7) it is found out through confession that Ash(Alex's Godfather) wasn't such a hero. Back when there was the field , Ash was demoted that was when he switched sides and started working as a double agent. He admitted that he didn't just wittiness the explosion of the plane Alex's parents where on he caused it, it was his test of devotion to the bad guys.

No one is what that seem on the outside. A spy has to know that.
