Left: The author, Anthony Hortwiz // Right: Alex rider in the film Stormbreaker
In an aim to recap on my old english skills, I decided to continue reading a series I had only completed two books from. This series is called the Alex Rider series and is written by a guy called Anthony Horowitz. His books have won the 2003 Red House 'Childrens Book' award, and the series has seven books till now.
The series talks about the adventures of a teenage boy called Alex Rider, who is asked to do spy missions by the British equivilant of the CIA, the MI6. Not only was his murdered uncle a spy in MI6 as well, but he is also a powerfull and wise human for his age and size.
This book in the series, Skeletion Key, talks about the boy's new mission assigned by MI6 - to head to a private island south of Cuba. On this island he must investigate the island's owner, General Sarov, and his plans to destory the world with his weapons grade urainium.
This book is a great read, even for old people, because it is a nice thriller with many action packed scenes as well as interesting plots. Although this book's plot/general idea may seem a bit wierd at first, once you read it you will understand it is quite realistic and not any old children's book.

Sharks. Assassins. Nuclear bombs. Alex Rider's in deep water.
