Skeleton Key was published in 2002. After foiling a Triad plot to fix the 2001 Wimbledon tennis tournament and befriending Sabina, Alex is in grave danger of assassination. Forced to leave the country, MI6 sends him on a mission to Cuba with two doubtful CIA agents, of whom he is the sole survivor. He encounters former Soviet general Alexei Sarov, who tries to adopt Alex and expresses ideas of a nuclear holocaust and world domination under communist rule. Alex then foils his plans saving the world for a third time.

Unfortunately, for Alex Rider, being recruited by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) at a young age was not so cool. I liked this Alex Rider book, although at 1 point I thought Alex was going crazy as he kept thinking he was seeing things, a good story, I really like the Alex Rider and Jason Steed series. If you've read up to Scorpia Rising, you'll know that Alex went through a lot of terrible stuff and isn't the same kid as he was at the beginning. But in this book, his character and development are still portrayed really well according to everything he's been through.

I'm not sure if this was written more rushed, dumbed down to introduce new readers to the world of Alex Rider, or if I've become more perceptive over the years but some of the writing was unnecessarily repetitive and distracting, for example the constant mentions of "your uncle, Ian Rider", after the first or second time "Ian Rider" or "Ian" would've sufficed, we know who he is by now!

The final chapter gives you a preview into the mission for the next book though and boy does that look good. I'm really hoping for something special for the next book.
