ARk ANGEL
An Alex Rider Adventure
“In his sixth adventure Alex Rider runs
afoul of a group of murderous “eco
warriors” and befriends Paul Drevin, the
lonely son of venerated multibillionaire
Nikolai Drevin, who isn’t what he seems.
In fact, neither is Paul, as Alex finds out
when he accompanies the father and son
on a vacation to the family’s luxurious
home in Flamingo Bay, which happens
to be the launching site of a rocket that
will carry the observation module for
Drevin’s hugely publicized Ark Angel,
the first hotel in space…What’s impossible
to resist are the imaginative gadgets
and the breakneck action, which Horowitz
handles with his usual assurance and
skill.” —Booklist

EAGLE STRIkE
An Alex Rider Adventure
“Alex Rider, reluctant teen MI6 operative,
is back for another adventure,
complete with a missile-loaded getaway
bicycle and a man who wants to destroy
not the whole world but just the parts of
it that grow or manufacture illegal drugs,
such as heroin and cocaine…Once again,
Horowitz tells a tight story, and his
knack for descriptive action drives readers
through the very accessible plot.”

POINT BLANk
An Alex Rider Adventure
“Trained by his uncle, a topnotch spy
who died with his boots on, Alex is a
bright, tough, daredevil athlete. No
wonder M16 wants him to investigate
a mysterious Swiss school dedicated to
‘reforming’ delinquent sons of wealthy
industrialists and important officials. Using
a false identity, Alex enters the school
and soon finds himself surrounded by
curiously docile students, teachers who
support the fascism, and a renegade
doctor interested in cloning. With secret
rooms, sullen sentries, mysterious disappearances,
and wild rides galore, this is a
great choice for reluctant readers.”

Fourteen-year-old Alex goes from
thrilling adventure to improbable escape
one quick-turning page after the other.
High-tech and low-tech machinations
will rivet readers, who will be anxious to

pure evil, and saved the world—twice.
But fifteen-year-old Alex is about to face
something more dangerous than he can
imagine: A man who’s lost everything he
cared for—his country, his son—a man
who has a nuclear weapon, and will stop
