Alex Rider is an orphan who lives with his uncle Ian Rider. One day, Alex’s life is thrown into chaos, when he gets the news that his uncle died in what are very fishy circumstances. Alex digs deeper to uncover the truth to find out how his uncle really died. The trail of clues leads him straight into the arms of MI6 Secret Operations division. They send him to the same place his uncle was working undercover in before he died. Alex spends a week snooping around a computer factory in Cornwall with a suspiciously large security force. In the end Alex finds Herod Sale’s secret and takes him down.
This reluctant teenage spy goes undercover twelve more times, each book pushing me further and further off my seat almost the entire time! The audible copies of these are brilliant (I’ve listened to them more times than I would care to admit XD). There is a new TV series airing of the second and fourth books right now but I think the plan is to do more, and don’t worry Anthony Horowitz is on the panel of directory thingy-ma-people. The series is rated 12 in the UK and kinda scary because of the visualisation of everything that happens to Alex, but it’s incredibly good and highly recommended.
