Description: Meet Alex Rider, reluctant teenage spy. When his guardian dies in suspicious circumstances, fourteen-year-old Alex Rider finds his world turned upside down. Within days he's gone from schoolboy to superspy. Forcibly recruited into MI6, Alex has to take part in grueling SAS training exercises. Then, armed with his own special set of secret gadgets, he's off on his first mission. His destination is the depths of Cornwall, where Middle-Eastern multi-millionaire Herod Sayle is producing his state-of-the-art Stormbreaker computers. Sayle's offered to give one free to every school in the country - but MI6 think there's more to the gift than meets the eye. Only Alex can find out the truth. But time is running out and he soon finds himself in mortal danger. It looks as if his first assignment may well be his last... "Horowitz will grip you with suspense, daring and cheek - and that's just the first page! ... Prepare for action scenes as fast as a movie." The Times "The perfect hero ... genuine 21st century stuff." The Daily Telegraph "Done with enormous style, fun and suspense. Wannabe James Bonds will be completely hooked and eager for more."
