Stormbreaker 2

Last time i left off, Alex Rider was being faced with a decision that would change his life. He was asked to join MI6 and become a spy. Not just a spy, but the first 14 year old spy. Alex decides to go along with MI6's wishes because they threatened blackmail against him. He goes to training for two weeks. The way Horowitz described it made it sound alot worse than boot camp and alot like hell. Also, because he is only 14, he is ripped on and made fun off by his other squad members. They dislike the fact that he is only 14 and is working through the same obstacles as they are. After training, Alex is sent to Port Tallon, Cornwall, which is his first mission location. He is asked to spy on a multimillionaire, who is giving away 10,000 of his new 'Stormbreaker' computers free to all the schools in England. MI6 is suspicious of him because this deed is simply just too kind, so they send Alex in as a contest winner to see Herod Sayle in person and test out his Stormbreakers.

Stormbreaker 1

The book i chose to read is Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. So far, it is an awesome book filled with action and suspense. what more could you want in a book. It is about a kid named Alex Rider whose parents were dead and he is staying with his uncle. He is 14 and is happy until his uncle, "a banker", dies in a car accident or so he's told. He later discovers that his uncle was a spy and was killed by a spray of bullets hitting the side of his uncle's BMW. Alex is called into the so called bank that his uncle worked for. He is tested by the head of MI6, Mr Blunt, to see if he has what it takes to be a spy. Alex proves himself to be worthy of a spy, but this fourteen year old just wanted to be a fourteen old. MI6 needed a young spy on their team and wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. Alex was backmailed into going along with their demands, and he just began training for his first assignment.
