Until a sudden, ruthless attack on his hosts plunges him back into a world of violence and mystery - and this time, MI6 don't want to know. Especially when Alex tells them that Damian Cray - celebrity, human rights campaigner and the man behind Gameslayer, a state-of-the-art new games console - could be involved.
