According to the schedule, the British fans of Alex Rider will get their release eight days earlier than the U.S. November 13 street date.

Originally, Yassen was to follow Snakehead as the eighth book, and would be the final Alex Rider novel. However, Horowitz rethought this idea, following negative responses during school visits.[2][3] [4] Crocodile Tears was instead released as the eighth book, in November 2009. According to the acknowledgements at the end of Scorpia Rising, Horowitz still plans to release Yassen.
