It's about a guy who's only a teen but ends up helping the MI6, English version of the CIA. Good series.
The books are: 1. Stormbreaker 2. Point Blanc 3. Skeleton Key 4. Eagle Strike 5. Scorpia 6. Ark Angel 7. Snakehead (coming out this year) I have yet to read Ark Angel though. Has anyone else read this amazing series? |

Yeah, they are really good, I started reading them years ago. I think Point blanc's my favorite, closely followed by Skeleton Key.
Didn't know the new one's out this year, cheers for telling me

POSSIBLE PLOT SPOILER
I thought he died at like the end of the fifth one... when there was that huge show down and he's like tumbling into the darkness or something... |

I thought the ending of Scorpia was brilliant.
I was really satisfied with that ending. But then they carried on the series.. - James. Spoiler Warning!! Something about Alex Riders death just fitted. It was a perfect ending, and all it all tied together nicely. I thought "He's dead, that's nice and tidy then." There is the obvious flaw of the bad guys winning, but hey, you can't win all of the time. And then he was "Revived" -- That really ruined it, if you ask me. They shouldn't have very-nearly-killed him if he was going to live in the next book.. Argh! Gripe over. |

Although I must say, Ark Angel wasn't bad. |
