Press & Blog Reviews

I have to say that I really enjoyed reading Jordan Stryker. There's a good balance of action, romance and teen sarcastic humour to make this a believable story, but also a flight of fancy too. Teenage boys will love this series if they have ever liked any spy novel. The fact that he is a teenager and he's given all these fantastic additions with his bionics is great in itself, then add to this that he gets his own fancy sports car too (at the end) then you have most 15 / 16 year old boys dream which they can live vicariously through this character.

A recommended read for Alex Rider fans, this is fast-paced and all-action, although the fictional 'who-dunnit' is almost overshadowed by the shocking true life revelation at the end…

Although Malcolm Rose delivers all the required ker-pows and take-thattery, this is a proper, well-plotted detective story for ages eight to 12.

WATCH OUT ALEX RIDER!
Simple yet strong prose makes this ideal for young boys (about 9 ) who enjoy a fast paced thriller including bombs, speed boats, explosions with the added bonus of the whodunnit element. But it’s not all show – I liked the way the author portrays Jordan’s inner sadness at being forced to give up his previous life and relinquish all that is normal for a teenager. At first all these cyber enhancements are a novelty for him - what young boy would turn up his nose at having supersonic hearing and x ray vision – but working as an undercover agent for Unit Red is certainly not child’s play. A gripping, unputdownable read which will really appeal to any boy who has a taste for adventure and gadgets – Alex Rider and Young James Bond had better up their game, there’s a new kid in town!
