When his uncle, an MI6 agent, is killed, Rider learns the truth and finds himself forced against his will to take on a dangerous mission for the British secret service. Using the tools and gadgets of the trade, in the vein of 007, Alex must infiltrate the lair of billionaire and possibly evil mastermind Darrius Sayle in order to stop him from releasing a biological weapon upon all of England via his brand new, high tech Stormbreaker computers.

Like most kids, 12 year old Carmen Cortez and her annoying little brother, Juni, think their parents are the most boring people in the world. But they've just discovered a most amazing secret about their parents – they're spies. Back in the spy game after a 10 year retirement, their parents have just left on their first mission – to save the world from the evil forces of techno-wizard Fegan Floop and his plan to invade the world with mini robotic children. But Mum and Dad are a bit rusty and are soon kidnapped by Floop and locked up in his transmorgrifying castle. It's Carmen and Juni to the rescue.
