Crocodile Tears, by Anthony Horowitz, starts when Alex Rider is spending New Year’s with his friend Sabina Pleasure. He goes to a party hosted by Desmond McCain, the founder of First Aid. As they drive home, a sniper shoots their car and sends them flying into a loch. Alex knows something is seriously wrong when MI6 requests him for yet another dangerous mission. There is this genetic altering facility that experiments on plants. Alex then finds out that First Aid is setting up disasters and makes boatloads of money by getting to the scene first. His mission is to infiltrate the genetic plant and figure out what evil disaster First Aid is setting up next. Desmond McCain’s plan is to release a poison on the wheat in Africa, made by this facility. Many will die. Alex just makes it out of this hazardous facility alive only to be captured by McCain and flown to Kenya. He releases the poison, and it is activated on one field that will spread. Alex is left to die hanging over crocodiles when a spy from India saves him. He is injured, and Alex is left to stop the poison with a bomb and native guards chasing him. How will Alex save Kenya? Will he even survive himself? Is he going to stop Desmond McCain once and for all? Read and find out.
