vavoice avatar reviewed on + 158 more book reviews


A 14-year-old boy named Alex Rider is shocked to discover that his recently deceased Uncle Ian was not, as he claimed to be, the vice-president of a bank but rather a spy for the British government. Now the government has called on Alex to complete his uncle's last mission--the investigation of Sayle Enterprises. Could the head of Sayle Enterprise, a company creating a super computer, be responsible for the murder of Alex's uncle?

An excellent YA adventure. Alex Ryder is a teenaged James Bond. The story was jammed with action from the first page. Even adults will enjoy the thrills and chills of this modern spy thriller.
