Stormbreaker was first published in the year 2000, in the United Kingdom, and then in the year 2001 in the United States. Alex, the main character, is recruited by MI6 after discovering the truth about his uncle's life and death. He is sent to complete his uncle's latest mission: to investigate a Lebanese multimillionaire named Herod Sayle and his creation: the revolutionary and newly-developed computer called Stormbreaker - which Sayle is donating to every school in England. Alex discovers that the Stormbreaker computers contain a lethal variation of smallpox and that Sayle plans to ruthlessly kill thousands of schoolchildren around the country with it. Alex foils the plan and succeeds on his first mission. Horowitz, Anthony; Johnston, Antony (May 2020). Alex Rider Graphic Novel 6: Ark Angel. Walker Books Australia Pty, Limited.

With the help of Jerry, Alex BASE jumps into Consanto Enterprises, and is eventually confronted by Dr. Harold Liebermann, the head of the organization. Nile shows up, but much to Alex's surprise, he kills Liebermann and takes Alex to see Rothman after blowing up the factory. While having dinner with her, Alex is told about Scorpia, an organization that carries out acts of terrorism for money, that his father was a Scorpia agent, and was not killed in a plane crash as MI6 claimed, but was in fact murdered by them while being exchanged for one of Scorpia's hostages (the son of a senior British civil servant), at the command of Mrs Jones. After hearing this, Alex decides to join Scorpia and begins his training at Scorpia's "institute" on Malagosto, an island near Venice. He becomes a top student, but his instructors become concerned upon learning his unwillingness to kill. On Rothman's suggestion, the headmaster, Professor Oliver d'Arc, sends Alex to kill Mrs Jones, Deputy Head of MI6 Special Operations, in hopes that it will overcome his psychological barrier.
