The sniper’s bullet nearly killed him. But Alex Rider managed to
survive . . . just in time for more trouble to come his way. When
kidnappers attempt to snatch a fellow patient from the exclusive hospital
where Alex is recovering, he knows he has to stop him. But the boy he
saves is no ordinary patient: He is the son of Nikolai Drevin, one of the
richest men in the world. The eccentric billionaire has been targeted by
Force Three, a group of eco-terrorists who claim his project Ark Angel—
the first luxury hotel in outer space—is a danger to the environment. Soon
Alex discovers that Force Three will stop at nothing to destroy Ark Angel,
even if it means sending four hundred tons of molten glass and steel
hurtling down to Earth and killing millions . . . unless Alex can stop them.
Personal Review: Ark Angel (Alex Rider Adventure) by Anthony
Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz introduces eco-terrorism in "Ark Angel," sixth book in the
series featuring 14-year-old Alex Rider, spy for M16 of England. Say
again? Spy? Fourteen?
To be sure, Alex is not a willing spy. No sir! At the end of Scorpia (Alex
Rider Adventure), Alex is shot by an assassin's bullet and left for dead. No
discerning reader for the first second thought Alex dead--there are two
more books in the series--but what an ending!! Now Alex is madder than
heck and not about to take any more! He never wanted to be a spy and
certainly vows vociferously never again!
Until. In the hospital where Alex is recovering, there is another teen in the
room next to Alex. This teen is son of a billionaire, who is being targeted by
eco-terrorists. You see, Nikolai Drevin is building Ark Angel, a hotel in
space for the super rich. What better way to punish Drevin than by
kidnapping his son and making him pay! Alex thwarts the plan and defeats
three experienced killers--believe it or not.
Plausibility is Horowitz's secret ingredient in the success of the Alex Rider
series. He makes the most outrageous escapades and actions believable!
In addition to wild action, Horowitz again introduces a nefarious villain, who
is seemingly a crusader for good. What makes Alex so effective as a spy is
simple. For various reasons, Alex can get into the inner sanctoriums of
these villains, then use his special talents. Just as some people are
talented in art, sports, science, writing, Alex is a great responder in
emergency situations. His brain goes into overdrive.
In "Ark Angel" Horowitz outdoes himself in the final episode. I won't write a
spoiler here, but I will say that Horowitz makes the reader feel exactly what
Alex experiences. It is quite unbelievably plausible.
I love this series! It will end with the seventh book--Snakehead (Alex Rider
Adventure).
