Crocodile Tears (Alex Rider)

Product Information

Though Alex does not initially realise the reason, Yassen demonstrates some care for the boy, on more than one occasion sparing his life when he could have easily killed him. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather (Ash) and learn more about his parents. In London, Alan Blunt and Mrs Jones trick Alex into thinking that his mission had failed, prompting him to leave. Furthermore, his role of being a criminal mastermind is similar to Ernst Stavro Blofeld's, the latter being the head of the James Bond organisation SPECTRE. Using his expert skills to sneak in, Yassen plays Russian Roulette with Sharksvosky, with only one round not containing a bullet this time, miraculously survives, and kills Sharksvosky.
