Trying to put the memories of his deadly mission to Point Blanc behind him, Alex takes a holiday on the Cornish coast. But when an old foe resurfaces, Alex finds himself dragged back into the world of spycraft.

Determined to track down Alan Blunt and warn him, Alex unknowingly puts himself on a collision course with the Department who are simultaneously hunting a dangerous cyber-terrorist. But are the two cases more related than either side realise?

Alex refuses to walk away from his investigation into the attack on Ed Pleasance, and with Sabina and Tom's help discovers a new lead connecting it to the Pentagon hack, putting him in the crosshairs of Smoking Mirror.

Alex must infiltrate a prestigious event if he's to learn more about the mysterious phenomenon that is the video game Feathered Serpent and its forthcoming sequel, confronting the charismatic billionaire behind it, Damian Cray.

To unlock the secrets of Feathered Serpent 2, Alex seeks expert assistance from an old friend. But with his own investigation spiralling out of control, how long before Alan Blunt puts a stop to Alex's dangerous inference?

Alex, Tom and Kyra journey to Amsterdam, to infiltrate the heart of Damian Cray's operation, while the Department turn their scrutiny on Cray's forthcoming meeting with the President of the United States.

To escape Amsterdam and deliver vital evidence to the Department, Alex needs Jack's help - putting her career in jeopardy. But with the President's touchdown in the UK already underway, is Alex too late to stop Cray?

As Feathered Serpent 2 finally launches and the full scope of Cray's plan is revealed, Alex races against the clock to and avert a catastrophic attack.
