Alex Rider Bleets

Bleets on some books I recently read.


Point Blank
Anthony Horowitz
274 pages, double paged

                     
     After the mysterious killing of two billionaires whose sons both attend the same school, Alex Rider is sent on a mission at Point Blank, which is in the Swiss Alps, and is the same school the billionaires' sons attend. Alex learns the boys who attend Point Blank are being replaced with clones of Point Blank's headmaster, and will cause trouble if they inherit any of their parents' fortune. Strongly recommended for anyone who loves action.




Skeleton Key
Anthony Horowitz
327 pages, double paged

                    
  When Chinese triads are after Alex, Alex is sent on a mission with the CIA to investigate Alexei Sarov, in which Alex's "CIA spy chaperones", Carver and Troy, are killed while sneaking on to Sarov's private island. Alex discovers Sarov is going to set the world at war by blowing up radioactive submarines in Russia, which will form radioactive clouds that would drift throughout the world. Sarov's plan is stopped because he committed suicide. Recommended to everyone who likes the subject of nuclear war, action, or spies.
