High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The story picks up moments before Ark Angel ended. Alex Rider lands in the South Pacific after falling from outer space. He is picked up by the USS Kitty Hawk, a US battleship doubling as a "hospital at sea", where he recovers from his trip into space. Meanwhile, the criminal organization Scorpia is hired by a G8 government to assassinate eight celebrities who are hosting a "make poverty history"-type conference on Reef Island, an island off the north-west coast of Australia, at the same time as the G8 summit. The mission is made trickier by the deaths having to look like an accident. The control of the mission is given to Major Winston Yu, the head of a powerful snakehead gang in south east Asia. Two days later, Scorpia agents break into a Ministry of Defence weapons research centre and steal a prototype bomb. Ethan Brooke, head of ASIS Australian Secret Intelligence Service and his colleague Marc Damon discuss using Alex in a mission.
