Ark Angel: Summary and book reviews of Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz, plus links to an excerpt from Ark Angel and a biography of Anthony Horowitz.

Shot outside the offices of MI6 and left for dead by Scorpia, Alex Rider awakens in a top-secret hospital, glad simply to be alive. But danger has a way of following Alex, and when the boy in the next room is the victim of a kidnapping attempt, it is Alex who saves him—only to be kidnapped himself. The man behind the kidnapping? None other than Nikolei Drevin, wealthiest developer in the world, and the man who single-handedly is funding the first luxury hotel in outer space, Ark Angel. Yet the project is hemorrhaging millions of dollars along the way, and Drevin will stop at nothing to cease the bleeding. Even if it means blowing up Ark Angel. Even if it means sacrificing his only son. . . .

Alex is a jolly decent sort who's never issued with lethal weapons but still manages to disarm everyoneArk Angel is his biggest adventure to date - a Moonrakeresque adventure involving a Russian mobster and a space-hotel. The series is a great choice for pre-teens, especially boys - with enough action-adventure for even the most reluctant reader.  (Reviewed by BookBrowse Review Team).
