After surviving a near-fatal mission in space, teenage spy Alex Rider crash-lands off the coast of Australia, where he is quickly recruited by the Australian Secret Intelligence Service for a new undercover assignment. Tasked with infiltrating a brutal criminal organization known as Snakehead—a syndicate involved in trafficking people, weapons, and narcotics across Southeast Asia—Alex teams up with Ash, a man who claims to know the truth about his past. Disguised as refugees, they enter a dangerous world of corruption and exploitation, where betrayal lurks close to home. As Alex uncovers a plot capable of causing catastrophic destruction, he must rely on his instincts, courage, and training to stop a disaster that could claim thousands of lives. Fast-paced and emotionally charged, Snakehead pushes Alex to the limits of trust, loyalty, and survival.
