Eagle Strike

An Alex Rider Adventure

By: Anthony Horowitz

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

Fourteen-year-old secret agent Alex Rider is on holiday in southern France with his friend Sabina and her parents. Everything seems perfect, until ruthless assassin Yassen Gregorovich arrives. Shortly after, Sabina’s father is nearly killed in a devastating explosion.

It turns out Sabina’s father was writing a story about legendary pop star and humanitarian Sir Damian Cray. Cray has donated millions to charity, is a vegetarian, and insists his concert tickets be printed on recycled paper. A living saint in the eyes of the adoring public, he claims to want to save the world. But Alex believes he knows the real truth—it’s the world that needs saving from Cray.

Critic reviews

"Once again, Horowitz tells a tight story, and his knack for descriptive action drives readers through the very accessible plot. Teens need not have read previous Rider adventures to enjoy this one." (Booklist)

yay

The story

Loved this series. We played it on a long road trip with our daughter and it was perfectl

Excellent!

This is one of my my favorite childhood novels and it was a pleasure listening to it again as an adult. The story is gripping and full of personality. My second favorite Alex Rider book surpassed only by Scorpia.

Great, but Sabina leaving is a disappointment.

Great book overall, but Sabina leaving is a disappointment. Great storyline though, and great action.

Alex Ryder is fun-fiction!

Great plot twists! This was definitely a good shoot-'em-up-bang-'em-up, but it ends with Alex being a little sad. That makes it a gentle cliffhanger. (oxymoron! )
