The likes of Alex Rider, Jason Steed or young James Bond is the hero that a young reader (Or young minded reader) wants to be: a secret agent trained in every field of espionage skills who travels round the world outsmarting bad guys. I’ve followed the series all the way through Alex working for/with MI6, to his turning his back on MI6 in favour of the ultimately evil organisation SCORPIA, and back again to the devastating conclusion of Scorpia Rising.

In Never Say Die, Anthony Horowitz brings us The likes of Alex Rider, Jason Steed or young James Bond is the hero that a young reader (Or young minded reader) wants to be: a secret agent trained in every field of espionage skills who travels round the world outsmarting bad guys. I’ve followed the series all the way through Alex working for/with MI6, to his turning his back on MI6 in favour of the ultimately evil organisation SCORPIA, and back again to the devastating conclusion of Scorpia Rising.

In Never Say Die, Anthony Horowitz brings us back to the world of Alex just a few months after Scorpia Rising. There’s no trace of series fatigue here; in fact the break seems to have given Horowitz a chance to give new life to his most famous character. Horowitz knows what he’s doing here and seems to relish throwing Alex into ever more dangerous and bonkers scenarios.

Alex propels himself on a personal crusade to chase that which seemed lost and Horowitz delivers action set-piece after set-piece with breathtaking abandon. As well as that, we have another brilliant villain or in this case villains in the shape of the Grimaldi brothers, twins operating pretty much as a single entity. They have a suitably notorious history and a suitably nefarious scheme that Alex finds himself having to stop.

There are several stand-out scenes, cinematic in their writing and preposterous in their execution. Chief among those is undoubtedly a sequence along an English motorway which builds and builds as it pulls you into the pages.

The story moves along at a brisk pace as you’d expect, with several countries across three continents covered with ease, and the ingenuity of gadgets and quick thinking are to the forefront.

Throughout, Horowitz leaves clues for you to figure out Alex’s next move in any given sticky spot, but buries it deep enough that the ultimate pay-off often brings a smile to your face.

A brilliant return to an absorbing series. Alex is certainly one of the best series. If you are young at heart or have a youngster who should be reading take a look at the Alex Rider or the Jason Steed series. Both series offer fun, excitement and escapism. The Jason Steed series also offers coming of age and emotion. ...more

This is the first Anthony Horowitz book that I have read, so the first Alex Rider book.

I always believed that Anthony was a horror writer, and didn't realise that he did YA books, nor action books.

This book is packed to the brim with adventure. Although I haven't had the chance to get to know Alex in the previous 10 books, it didn't matter as my enjoyment wasn't affected, nor did I feel out of touch with the character, though it would of been good to of understood his personal crusade better.

Alex is trying to recuperate from his final mission in Scorpia Rising. He lost his longterm nanny/parent substitute/friend Jack Albright in an evil plot by Razim, so is living in California with his friend Sabine and her parents. When he gets a cryptic e mail, he is sure that Jack is alive, so he takes off to Egypt to return to the scene of her death to look for clues. Luckily, Colonel Manzour likes Alex and not only keeps him safe but gives him some helpful intel. A clue on the wall of the prison, as well as some IP address sleuthing sends to him St. Tropez, but it's okay because he has some cash, a credit card, can speak French, and has had his computer modified so it can connect him to Manzour's people for help... or act as a bomb. He finds the evil Grimaldi twins' yacht, and after some trouble there, realizes that the two have Operation Steel Claw underway. This explains a little bit about how a massive transport helicopter went missing, but timeis of the essence when figuring out what the Grimaldi's plan to do with the helicopter. After a false start, Alex figures out their plan, and rushes off to the aid of those affected. Will this path somehow lead him to Jack? And waht does his career with Mrs. Jone and MI6 look like now?

Like any Alex Rider book, the best part are the descriptions of his adventures. Who else but a 15 year old boy would want to be flung from the ejector seat of a vehicle up to a bus being flown away by a massive helicopter, hang on for dear life, and manage to not get squashed when the bus is deposited on a train? Despite his lack of training, Alex has managed to develop some very useful spy skills, and has a good feeling for what the evil doers might try to accomplish.

We do get a little more emotional development in this, since Alex is searching for Jack. We get a short glimpse of him trying to live a "normal" life, and it's obvious that such an existence is never going to work for our intrepid spy boy. Interestingly, we see a lot more of Mrs. Jones' emotional journey in this volume, which I appreciated. I'm not reading the series for the character development, but after 17 years, I have a vested interest in this character and definitely want to delve into his psyche a bit more!

Horowitz's Stormbreaker opened up middle grade literature to the genre of spy books, and we've seen Carter's Gallagher Girls, McGee's Ryan Quinn, and great series from McNab, Muchamore, Higson, and Gilman. When you think about it, a whole lot of adult like this genre, so it's not a surprise that my students want to escape from everyday reality and read about spy. Personally, I think I would make a great Mrs. Pollifax for the new millenium. When you think about it, teenagers have a lot to lose. Middle aged librarians whose library jobs might be cut at any moment have nothing to lose. We would be terrifying and ruthless as spies! ...more

However in true Alex Rider fashion nothing is not what it seems and after Alex gets an email he believes that Jack is alive and sets out on another adventure to find her and get her back.

It was so weird seeing Alex himself actually want to put himself in danger to find his friend and person who he's only cared for. Alex is such a determined character and the character growth has been huge even in a short amount of time. However with Alex's other missions this one seems the most personal one yet and he doesn't really think a lot of the time and mask rash decisions which could have almost got him killed.

There is so much plot lines and new characters always thrown into these books and i'm always excited to see where Anthony will take Alex next because every single book there is always multiple countries it's like i've gone on these adventures myself. Also just when i think that there couldn't be anymore for Alex to do there is a new threat and a new place to visit and i hope one day that there will be one mission that will be the end of it for Alex.

Alex and Jack's reunion was one of my most favourite scenes in this book and one of my favourites of the series, these two have such a strong bond and history together that it had Alex finding her again that much sweeter. I also feel like that Jack understands what Alex does now and i hope if he ever gets called for another mission she understands and i think she will.

The last of scorpia's people are finally taken down however there is a new threat coming and i hope that they aren't as bad as scorpia but i have a feeling that Alex's journey isn't over just yet. Mrs Jones has hinted to Alex that he will pretty much have to be ready to be used by MI6 once again and put his life on the line for them.

I do have one question though, how long can Anthony keep this series going? because i would love for this series to end of a good note before it becomes just the same stuff over and over.

This book starts with a time gap of six months after the fact that the first 9 books took place in slightly over a one year gap. We find Alex in San Francisco living with Pleasures and trying to move on with life. And then suddenly Alex gets an incomplete and cryptic email of just 3 words which somehow convinces Alex that his friend and caretaker Jack Starbright didn't die but somehow is alive. And there he goes traveling around the World trying to retrace his steps and trying to find Jack alive and well.

This book works beautifully to ensure that it would be the only way where Alex would leave his new home and get into the action once again and how nicely it was done. This time Alex doesn't have help from MI6 well a little bit maybe and in the final act, nobody even knows where the bad guys and Alex are and Alex has to save himself and others with his quick wit and his training.

This was just the kind of adventure which would have been possible and it was full of action and Alex finds himself from one perilous situation to another and it was glorious fun to read. So yes do go right on ahead pick this one, of course, this goes without saying that you should try to read the earlier books in the series and then come to this book in an orderly fashion.

People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while. I read almost all the genre but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books which are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time in this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading. ...more

When people think about undercover spies and secret agents, they usually imagine how cool it is for them to go on classified missions and save the world. Unfortunately, for Alex Rider, being recruited by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) at a young age was not so cool.

Alex Rider is a phenomenal, action-packed series written by Anthony Horowitz that leave readers holding their breath waiting for the next twist and turn. Never Say Die is the eleventh book in the series that picks up after the tragic and heartbreaking events of Scorpia Rising. Alex had moved to live in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Sabina Pleasure, and foster family to hopefully begin a more normal life and recover from his time being held captive in Egypt, tortured, and forced to witness the terrifying murder of his caregiver and best friend, Jack Starbright, at the hands of sadistic terrorists who worked for the Scorpia organization. He goes to school and tries his best to fit with the rest of the kids, but with his traumatic experiences and past he still feels empty and lonely. Then, one day out of the blue, he receives a cryptic and truncated email from an unknown person that says, “ALEXX I’M AL”. Just those three words gave him the sliver of hope that maybe Jack was still alive, and his determination to find her and learn the truth set him off on another dangerous journey into the world of spies and criminals.

Authors often kickoff their stories by writing about the main character. However, Anthony Horowitz did not begin by writing about Alex, but rather an event that happened on the other side of the planet that would come deeply affect the story later on. The way he started the book was wonderful especially first few lines, “Fifty thousand people had come to the Suffolk Air Show on the east coast of England. But only one of them was there to commit murder”. The hook had dragged me into the story craving to know what happens next. It’s been a long time since I last read an Alex Rider novel and just reading the first couple of chapters makes me realize how much I miss Alex’s narrative. I love reading his thoughts and his incredible ideas when trying to get himself out of a sticky situation. Once he had this plan to scare and get past the professional gangster, Frankie Stallone, who was in the way of his escape. The gangster thought that he had killed Alex, but then Alex appeared in front of him looking the way he did before he almost died. The killer thought he was seeing the ghost of the boy he had killed and was completely paralyzed with terror. This gave Alex the chance to defeat Stallone who was a trained killer. His quick thinking and actions always amazes me. A motif of the story was quest. It wasn’t just the physical traveling but also how Alex’s personality seems to repeatedly take him on more adventures to help others. Each time he knows others are in danger, he is willing to go rescue them even if it means that he will also have put his life on the line.

Despite all the thrilling and exciting events that take place in the novel, it’s not the most realistic. After all Alex is still a teen, only fifteen years old. It’s hard to imagine someone who is merely a year older than me being able to walking out alive after the mountain of challenges and struggles thrown at him. Even in the story there was a security guard who was suspicious of Alex and did not believe in his abilities. At first, the man felt that he should be the one in charge since he was an adult, and Alex was just a kid. But soon enough he learned to trust Alex and listen to his plans. Every time Alex manages to save the people around him and escape death, it seems like some sort of a huge miracle. There was a scene where he was outnumbered four to one by armed men and how he got out of it was unbelievable and simply brilliant. Even though something like this would probably be impossible for a fifteen year old to pull off in real life, it is still very enjoyable to read.

Never Say Die is an impressive novel that pulls the readers in for a spectacular roller coaster ride. The book incorporates a bit of humor even in the most serious and dangerous circumstances that never fail to make me crack a smile every time. When I finished reading Scorpia Rising, I felt kind of sad because I thought it was going to be the end to the series so I kept myself busy with reading Russian Roulette and made myself not think so much of Alex. But now that I have read Never Say Die, I can’t wait for the next book, Secret Weapon. I hope it comes out soon, because I’m very excited to know what mission Alex will take on next. ...more

One of the reasons I love Alex Rider so much is because of Alex's desire to help people. He wants a normal life, but at the same time it's quite clearly seen in the earlier books when Alex gets recruited by MI6 that he can't NOT help.

I definitely enjoyed re-treading footsteps with Alex Rider. I have always enjoyed the realism of the series. However, I don't feel like these books are so much for me anymore and I feel like my enjoyment of them is coloured over purely with the rose-coloured spectacles of nostalgia.
