Ark Angel – Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider is a fourteen-year-old schoolboy who has been recruited, often unwillingly, as a spy by the British secret service, MI6. In Ark Angel, the sixth book in Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling Alex Rider series, he is recovering in a London hospital after being shot at the end of his previous mission when he gets caught up in a new and dangerous adventure.
While in hospital, Alex foils an attempt by an eco-terrorist group called Force Three to kidnap Paul Drevin, the teenage son of Nikolei Drevin, a fabulously wealthy Russian businessman. Grateful, Nikolei invites Alex to join Paul on vacation. Drevin is building Ark Angel, the world’s first luxury hotel in space, an orbiting project that represents his dreams of glory.
But not everything is as it seems. The CIA suspects Drevin may be involved in something sinister, and Alex is soon working with American agents to uncover the truth. His investigation takes him from London to a Caribbean island to a remote launch site, and he discovers a plot that could threaten millions of lives. Before long, Alex finds himself facing his most extreme challenge yet: a mission that takes him into space.
Horowitz delivers nonstop action, clever gadgets, narrow escapes and memorable villains, combined with the humor and vulnerability that have made Alex a favorite hero for young readers.
Ark Angel is an exciting read for fans of spy thrillers and adventure stories aged ten and up. It can be enjoyed on its own, though readers will get the most from it after the earlier books in the series. It contains action violence.
