Last night, I finished reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz.If you enjoy stories with lots of action and enough special gadgets to make James Bond happy, this could be the book for you.
Alex Rider is a 14 year-old boy, living in London with his uncle since the death of his parents many years earlier. But when the police show up late one night to tell him that his uncle was killed in an automobile accident, Alex finds himself all alone and filled with questions about what happened. While the police claim his uncle was in an accident, Alex finds the car riddled with bullet holes. This leads Alex to uncover more secrets about his uncle, Ian Rider. He was not really a banker as Alex had been lead to believe, but a spy working for British Intelligence's MI6. The organization realizes that Alex has many of the characteristics that made his uncle so valuable to them, and they recruit Alex to work on a very special mission for them. It involves going undercover to find an international terrorist and the person who murdered his uncle.
Alex is soon involved in life or death situations as he races against the clock to stop the diabolical plan of a madman. Check-out Stormbreaker, and you'll be checking out the non-stop action of Alex Rider in this first in a series of 9 books. Don't miss out!!
