Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz

I read Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz a long time ago. Still though it is one of my favorite books. *SPOILER ALERT* If you haven't read the series don't keep reading and just know that it is an amazing book and a fabulous series so make sure that you do read it. It is about Alex Rider who is a teen who lives with his baby sitter because his parents and uncle a dead. He is sucked into the world of MI6, the same intelligence agency that his parents and uncle were a part of, which you don't find out until later in the series. This particular book in the series focuses on Alex stopped a mass breakout of small pox through a new brand of computers, Stormbreakers. These computers will be put throughout schools all across England, as the books setting is London. The villain in this book has made a set of computers, much like the MacBook pro is called that these are called Stormbreakers. They are a breakthrough in electronics and everything so naturally everyone wants one. The man who created them though is putting them in schools. It is later discover when Alex goes on a mission that the man has put enough of the disease small pox in each computer that when they are turned on at the same time all over England small pox will be released and there will be an epidemic. Alex does what he can to stop it. What I always found incredible with these books is that just when you think it's over, there is a sudden plot twist that is very unexpected and shocking. Just when I would think the book was over and all that was left was the conclusion there would be another explosion of action packed adventure. Usually it is short and is only a chapter long. This is a fabulous series and I recommend it to anyone who loves action and spy books and anyone who craves adventure and suspense. This is an amazing series and you should read it even if you only like action a little bit.
