year-old Alex is an orphan. Around 3 weeks prior to the start of the first book in the series, Alex’s uncle, Ian Rider, who had been raising him, dies in a car crash. Alex later finds out that his uncle used to be a secret agent who was working for M16, a premier spy agency in Britain. M16 later forces Alex to take up his uncle’s place in the spy operation. The adventure constitutes the opening book in the series. In 2005 a graphic novel adaptation of Stormbreaker was released in the United Kingdom and the United States. [9] The graphic novel was an adaptation of the screenplay written for the movie released the year after, [10] and was intended as a tie-in for the film. Later, after a debriefing by Alan Blunt and Mrs. Jones, Alex enters a taxi to go home. The driver is none other than Sayle, who holds Alex at gunpoint. He leads Alex to the top of a building where he is about to shoot Alex and gloats about returning to exact his revenge again, but is himself killed by Yassen Gregorovich, who lands in a helicopter. When Alex questions Yassen about why he shot Sayle, Yassen explains that Sayle had become an embarrassment to the people he (Yassen) worked for, so he had to be eliminated. Knowing that he is facing his uncle's killer, Alex tells Yassen he will one day kill him, but Yassen brushes aside the comment and advises Alex to drop the spy business and become a normal schoolboy again, before leaving in the helicopter.

in Cornwall, Sayle shows Alex around his mansion, which houses a large jellyfish aquarium containing a giant Portuguese Man o' War. Alex also meets Mr. Grin, a henchman whose name derives from his time as a circus performer, catching knives with his teeth. An accident when his mother distracted him in one of his performances left him without a tongue and two large scars which give him the appearance of constant smiling. Moreover, the movie changes events so that Alex and K-Unit are imprisoned after failing a night-time training exercise.
