Although his childhood permanently damaged him, it also gave him a gift — it provided him with rich source material for his writing career. Jack's and Alex's relationship in this book is really strained in this one because of everything MI6 has put Alex through over the course of a year.

This edition also featured an afterword by Anthony who revealed the origins and thoughts behind most of the names from the series. The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Alex is picked up by the Australian Secret Service and is asked by them to take down the criminal underworld that is in south east Asia.

Later, Alex makes friends with Ash but does not know that she, like Alex once was, is a double agent that works for MI6 and Scorpia. The White Carnation was later included in the short story collection Alex Rider: Undercover, which was published exclusively for World Book Day 2020. In addition to the highly successful Alex Rider books, he has also written episodes of several popular TV crime series, including Poirot, Murder in Mind, Midsomer Murders and Murder Most Horrid.Alex finds his Godfather (Ash) And finds out that Ash was behind the death of his parents (Ash dies seconds later) Major Yu then escapes and Alex stops the bomb! The fourth book, Eagle Strike, was a favorite in the Alex Rider series, and I enjoyed how things played out through the end.
