“I am happy,” Alex said. He wondered if he had convinced Sabina. He certainly hadn’t convinced himself. We are finally caught up! And we're actually out of order here. Release order would be Russian Roulette next, then Secret Weapon ready for NIGHTSHADE. But I'm not doing that, because I wanted to read Alex's whole story …

They didn't just live with secrets. Secrecy surrounded their entire lives. It's the final mission! (It's not, but at the time, we thought it was). With a name like Scorpia Rising, I know it's gonna be good. Scorpia are back, the stakes are high and this was originally the end of the series. Gotta be …

“A very wise man once defined charity in the following way. He said it was poor people in rich countries giving money to rich people in poor countries.” It turns out that I didn't remember anything that happened in this book, but on the reread I absolutely loved it? A brilliant entry into the series …

This is a bit of a different one! I actually found out about Alex Rider Undercover after I'd already started the reread marathon. Undercover is a collection of four short stories being released and re-released for World Book Day 2020. World Book Day 2020 is happening today, March 5th! It's the 23rd annual World Book …

I couldn't take a Star Wars themed photo without including my baby boy. So, in the lead up to The Rise of Skywalker (a movie I'm not discussing here) I decided to read the novels listed as 'Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker': Resistance Reborn, Force Collector, Spark of the Resistance and Choose …

“The thing is, Alex, you’re never really in control, whatever you may think. Just keep paddling and never fight the current because the current will always win.” INSERT COVER IMAGE I actually enjoyed this way more than I remember enjoying it the last time I read it and now I'm hyped for Crocodile Tears. Snakehead …

"...if what you've told me is true-""It is." Alex felt a spurt of annoyance. Why should the American doubt, even for a moment, what he said? Was it perhaps because he was only fourteen? For a long time Ark Angel was my favourite of the Alex Rider books. Because, well, space. It'll be interesting to …

Alex listened as the two men argued, neither really listening to what the other had to say. So this was how the government worked! It's been seven months since Alex first got drawn into MI-6, into espionage, assassinations, nuclear attacks and constant danger. That's a remarkably short amount of time for a fourteen year old …

“I have a couple of questions," he said."Do, please, go ahead.""My first one is for Yassen Gregorovich." He turned to the Russian. "Why are you working for this lunatic?" This is the one I've been dreading. I actually opened and closed this three times on the train because as soon as I read the intro …

"You are mine! And I intend to make you suffer...""Just talking to you makes me suffer," Alex said. I remembered this one pretty vividly, but I had the time-line way out of scope in my head. By the time we got into the nuclear threat stuff, it was two-thirds of the way in and Alex …
