The Bottom Line: Read it and prepare to be amazed at...Stormbreaker Book one in the alex rider series.
Alex Rider (written by Anthony Horowitz) tops off his trilogy (Stormbreaker, Point Blank, and Skeleton key) with an amazing first book in this amazing series. Alex rider's uncle who has cared for him suddenly dies in a mysterious death. He overhears the police saying it was a car crash...but he is about to find out what realy happend that night...and why.

He becomes a teenage spy which his uncle has undercoverly trained him, with karate lessons and knowledge.
He encounters many problems, threats and keeps you on the edge of your seat till you fall off at the end.

Alan Blunt is the manager behind this..all i can say about him is that he has a...gray personality and convincing additude. So does his assistant.
Read this book and be amazed at....The Stormbreaker!
