Product description

The storming mission that primed Alex for world domination. Imitators? Fail. There’s only one Alex Rider. When this story starts, he’s just a normal fourteen-year-old kid. He doesn’t yet know how to defuse a bomb, or how to win at hand-to-hand combat. Then the doorbell rings in the middle of the night. Bad news: Alex’s guardian has been murdered. Now Alex is being recruited into MI6 as its youngest ever spy. That’s how it all begins. And by the end of this book, Alex will face his first utterly evil villain: mad, bad and very dangerous to know…

  • First in Anthony Horowitz’s blockbusting spy series
  • 007 meets Boy’s Own in a gadget-packed mission
  • A pioneering book that has spawned many imitators
  • Perfect for kids who want gripping, fast-paced reads

“The perfect hero… genuine 21st century stuff.” Telegraph

“Pure class, stylish but action-packed.” Daily Mirror

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..
