Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

Product Information

Sabina appears briefly at the end of Snakehead for a "surprise" Christmas visit, the novel ending with them entering Alex’s house together.

Mrs Jones reveals that she did not want to be a spy; she started out wanting to be a humanitarian, working to stop bad things happening in foreign countries. She was at university, preparing a doctoral thesis on climate change and how it affects developing countries, when she was approached to work at Special Operations. She started as an analyst, before eventually becoming Alan Blunt’s second in command. In that time, she met a German political writer called Hans, who she fell in love with and married (though she kept her maiden name). Later, they became parents to two children, a boy called William and a girl called Sofia. Alex saw their picture at Mrs Jones’ apartment, when SCORPIA sent him to kill her (as depicted in Scorpia); this revelation startles him, as he thought of them as a nephew and niece, never once believing Mrs Jones to be a mother. Once again amid races, chases, hails of bullets, and increasingly spectacular explosions, the teenage James Bond pulls off one awesome feat of derring-do after another. [This] fresh caper . . . roars along to a (naturally) explosive climax."— Booklist Alex is a boy who works for MI6, the British international intelligence service. When fourteen years old, Alex was forced into this occupation after MI6 noticed Alex's many talents. He has not only worked for MI6, but also the CIA, Scorpia (in Scorpia), and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (in Snakehead). Chapter 13: Needle Point pg 208) WOLF claims his real name is Ben Daniels yet in Snakehead (Chapter 10: Wat Ho) FOX says his name is Ben Daniels. There is so much plot lines and new characters always thrown into these books and i'm always excited to see where Anthony will take Alex next because every single book there is always multiple countries it's like i've gone on these adventures myself. Also just when i think that there couldn't be anymore for Alex to do there is a new threat and a new place to visit and i hope one day that there will be one mission that will be the end of it for Alex.It is often mentioned that Sabina has a "fixation with older men," which is surprising considering the amount of interest she shows in Alex, who is younger than her.

Horowitz came up with the idea for the series when he thought about creating a teenage equivalent of James Bond.The positives is that it's still a great book series for a younger audience. It's well written and very well researched. In the book Crocodile Tears, Alex and Sabina are on holiday together once more, but in Scotland. Sabina's father, Edward Pleasure, is invited by the main antagonist of the book, Desmond McCain, who Edward was writing a report on, to a party on December the 31st to celebrate the New Year. All the profits of the party would go to McCain's charity, First Aid. When leaving for the party from the Pleasures' house Sabina was seen telling Alex to stop admiring himself in the mirror. They were all set to leave when Sabina's mother announced she wasn't feeling well and could not come. The party bored both Alex and Sabina and they left early, but as they were driving down the hill away from the castle where the party was set, their car's tire was shot out and they were sent plummeting into the loch below. But, of course, Alex manages to save her and her father's lives once more. The Pleasures decide to leave for America early, although they invite Alex over for spring. Before leaving, Sabina kisses Alex on the cheek, suggesting her feelings for him are still existent.
