Alex Rider is an orphan turned teen superspy who's saving the world one mission at a time—from #1 New York Times bestselling author!
1. Stormbreaker
They told him his uncle died in an accident. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt, they said. But when fourteen-year-old Alex finds his uncle's windshield riddled with bullet holes, he knows it was no accident. What he doesn't know yet is that his uncle was killed while on a top-secret mission. But he is about to, and once he does, there is no turning back. Finding himself in the middle of terrorists, Alex must outsmart the people who want him dead. The government has given him the technology, but only he can provide the courage. Should he fail, every child in England will be murdered in cold blood.
2. Point Blanc
When an investigation into a series of mysterious deaths leads agents to an elite prep school for rebellious kids, MI6 assigns Alex Rider to the case. Before he knows it, Alex is hanging out with the sons of the rich and powerful, and something feels wrong. These former juvenile delinquents have turned well-behaved, studious—and identical—overnight. It's up to Alex to find out who is masterminding this nefarious plot, before they find him.
3. Skeleton Key
Alex Rider has been through a lot for his fourteen years. He's been shot at by international terrorists, chased down a mountainside on a makeshift snowboard, and has stood face-to-face with pure evil. Twice, young Alex has managed to save the world. And twice, he has almost been killed doing it. But now Alex faces something even more dangerous. The desperation of a man who has lost everything he cared his country and his only son. A man who just happens to have a nuclear weapon and a serious grudge against the free world. To see his beloved Russia once again be a dominant power, he will stop at nothing. Unless Alex can stop him first... Uniting forces with America's own CIA for the first time, teen spy Alex Rider battles terror from the sun-baked beaches of Miami all the way to the barren ice fields of northernmost Russia.
4. Eagle Strike
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?
5. Scorpia
Alex Rider, teen spy, has always been told he is the spitting image of the father he never knew. But when Alex learns that his father may have been an assassin for the most lethal and powerful terrorist organization in the world, Scorpia, his world shatters. Now Scorpia wants Alex on their side, and Alex no longer has the strength to fight them. That is, until he learns of Scorpia’s latest an operation known only as “Invisible Sword” that will result in the death of thousands of people. Can Alex prevent the slaughter, or will Scorpia prove once and for all that the terror will not be stopped?

I read this series a few years ago and I seriously LOVED it!
I haven't reread it since but these books were one of my favourites before I joined the fandom (:

Since I was a kid I wanted to read these books. And for whatever reasons I did not have the chance. So what is more logical than to start reading them durring the summer of 2015 when I was 22 years old...... I just had nothing to do and I wanted something 'light' to read. So I began! Nothing in this world could prepare me for the addiction these books would turn into. I love these books! All of them. My favourite one being Scorpia. They are just great. Without even realising it I was in my room all day reading. I finished the whole series in 1.5 weeks! Are these books for kids? sure! Did I enjoy them though? More than I hoped!! I love the fact that the plot is a little dark. It might provide you with a happy ending, but things are not as happy as they can be. And book by book one can see that very clearly.... I suggest this book to everyone that is looking for an adventurous book that makes you want more and more and even more!!!

Amazing but it does get boring after a while
October 4, 2018
The series is thoroughly engaging. Alex rider surely sets a great stage for action drama. I'm sure teenagers would love to read it and relate to the characters. I read this book when I was 12. It is indeed simple yet engaging.
The plot are well driven and we'll connected. The stories proceed with changing times , really as the second one was based at the time of Dolly the sheep. The antagonists are well curated as they must be with some other objective than 'ruling' the world. Their aim seems do real than other stories I must say. They change with stories, at times you feel if you're really reading a teenage book as Mafia appears at several stages. The most impressive and important is undoubtedly Yassen Gregorovich which one meets throughout the series. If you feel you have got the end of it at the third part, you're wrong. He serves much as useful in his afterlife.
The locations too change from vibrant towns to deadly islands. They have a rich feel of carrying themselves with you. You get into the places and travel the character.
But there have been books which I felt were a bit off course. Snakehead was too difficult to go through and not an enjoyable read. It was dull and boring lacking good plot and antagonist at the same time. There are some other instances too as the reader feels as if the plot went off road. Sometimes it feels confusing and the endings of some can be a bit damp to some. However Alex's courage and excitement clubbed with good humour fills the gap and be saves the day. A must recommend.

If there was such thing as a 3.5 star rating, this would be the book series. There are some books that are just so entertaining, so much detail feeling like a James Bond movie, with missions that peak my interest, and then there are just others that feel bland and repetitive. This entire book series just feels repetitive, and gets tiring after the first five books. My suggestion is to read the first five books, see if you like it or not and move on. I only read the entire book series because books 1 and 2 just brought me into the genre making me love it so, SO much, but the rest are just lackluster and repetitive. A good read, but not something I'd read again.

This series was really good but the middle 3 books got a bit repetitive. It’s very action-filled and keeps me on my toes. It really got me into it because when Alex rider was underwater I was actually holding my breath! It’s really really really good.👍

These books are fast paced. They keep you on the edge of your seat. I've noticed that in each book there is a part that has you holding your breath as you read it. Awesome books!

Y, THEY'RE LIGHT AND ENTERTAINING READS! LOL I STARTED READING THEM BECAUSE A FUTUREFIC GOT ME INTRIGUED BY YASSEN/ALEX, EVEN THOUGH INO HE'S TWO, YOU SICK FUCK, BUT I'M GENUINELY ENJOYING THE CANON SPY ADVENTURE STUFF.
