    <![CDATA[Anthony Horowitz's enormously popular series about the world's premier teenage spy, returns for another round with secret agent Alex Rider fighting ingenious villains and charming every girl he meets. <em>Eagle Strike</em>, Horowitz's fourth fictional foray into the world of British spy agency MI6, starts out calmly enough as Alex and his lovely companion, Miss Sabina Pleasure, vacation with her family in the south of France. But before you can say Goldfinger, Alex spots his old nemesis, renowned assassin Yassen Gregorovich, on the beach. What Alex discovers is a plan so diabolical that it makes all of his previous adventures seem like a stroll in the Queen Mum's garden. Alex must fight to keep Gregorovich from executing the plans of a mysterious and murderous madman--an operation code named &quot;Eagle Strike.&quot; He will just have to face down a few minor complications first: a virtual reality game that inflicts real pain; a fleet of Porche 911 GT3-driving hit men; and even a near fatal brush with death aboard the most famous aircraft in the world, Air Force One. But he'll persevere, or his name isn't Rider: Alex Rider.  <em>Eagle Strike</em>, like all of the ridiculously fun Alex Rider adventures, is a pure guilty pleasure from start to finish. Even the most reluctant of readers won't be able to resist Alex's Bond-like ingenuity and charisma. Anthony Horowitz is a master of pacing, and as Alex swings from one cliff-hanging chapter to the next, Horowitz proves that you don't have to be Shakespeare to pen a crackerjack plot! <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[  Sir Damian Cray is a philanthropist, peace activist, and the world's   most famous pop star. But still it's not enough. He needs more if he is   to save the world.   Trouble is, only Alex Rider recognizes that it's the world that needs   saving from Sir Damian Cray. Underneath the luster of glamour and fame   lies a twisted mind, ready to sacrifice the world for his beliefs. But   in the past, Alex has always had the backing of the government. This   time, he's on his own. Can one teenager convince the world that the   most popular man on earth is a madman bent on destruction-before time   runs out?]]>
