Strike, sees teenage sleuth Alex Rider once again fighting ingenious villains and charming every girl he meets. Eagle Strike, starts out calmly enough with Alex and his lovely companion, Miss Sabina Pleasure, on holiday with her family in the south of France. But before you can say Goldfinger, he spots his old nemesis, renowned assassin Yassen Gregorovich, on the beach. Alex discovers a plan so diabolical that it makes all of his previous adventures seem like a stroll in the Queen Mother's garden. Alex must fight to keep Gregorovich from executing the plans of a mysterious and murderous madman--an operation code-named "Eagle Strike". 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. Eagle Strike, as with all the other ridiculously fun Alex Rider adventures, is a pure 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. --Jennifer Hubert, Amazon.com

Alex Rider is a fourteen year old boy who had worked on three occasions the story starts on a beach in France where Alex was having a holiday with his, ahem 'friend' Sabrina Pleasure. Alex saw the hated face of Yassen Gregorovich, the Russian assassin whom had killed his uncle Ian Rider. Alex investigates and discovers that Yassen was under the employment of 'national treasure' Damiean Craig. The next then follows Craig all around Europe in an attempt to stop 'eagle strike' before he even knows what it is. This story reaches a dramatic climax onboard the presidential plane Air Force One.
My favourite character would have to be Damiean Craig. He wants to do what is best for the world, however he does this with unprecedented ruthlessness. Take for example in Craig's murder of Yassen Gregorovich because Yassen would not kill children. Craig's 'big idea' was to launch a nuclear strike of the largest drug plantations on the planet. A villain met a grisly end when he fell out of Air Force One and was literally vaporised by a turbine.
My overall opinion of the story is as with the entire Alex Rider series 'incredible'. It has a twist at every turn and him whatever you take for granted is blown either up or away on the very next page. The sense of realism is tremendous, everything is just so, the presidential seal, Air Force One and of course the gadgets. Whoever said that sequels are never as good as the original? Nonsense!
