I like this story
because there is a lot of suspense.

2008
Meet Alex Rider, the reluctant teenage
spy.
14-year-old Alex
Rider's uncle (Ian Rider) gets assasinated, and left the house
to Alex and his housekeeper. One day Alex enters his uncles
workplace and gets into trouble. They send him to a training
camp where he meets Alan Blunt and Mrs Jones. They are the
heads of MI6, a spying company which disguises itself as a
bank. They send him for vigorous training so as to go on his
first mission. They send him to an island where he gets to use
the first Stormbreaker, a very advanced computer built by
Herod Sayle.His mission is to stop the computers from being
sent to the mainland(they contain a extremely lethal smallpox
virus) He suceeded in destroying the computers
before they were turned on. A very interesting
story. I like this story
because any secrets are only revealed later in the story(My
opinion of this book quite the same as the other Alex Rider
books)
