Eagle Strike

I have just finished Eagle Strike by Anthony Horowitz.  It is the fourth book in the Alex Rider series.  It is a action series about Alex Rider, a teenage spy who works for MI-6 (the British CIA).  The book starts when Alex and his best friend Sabina are vacationing in southern France's beaches. The action begins when Alex spots his arch nemesis, Yassen Gregoriovich riding up on his Yacht to the beach.He is a Russian contract killer that Alex has fought in the past .  The same day Sabina's father gets severely injured by a bomb in the vacation house.

  After following Yassen and learning he had been hired by multi-millionaire and world-wide pop-star Damian Cray, Alex decides to find out why the beach house was targeted by Cray.  While doing so he learns the truth about Damian Cray and his plot, Eagle Strike.  It is truly a great read and I suggest it to anyone who loves suspense.  Since this is the first Alex Rider book I have ever read I am moving on to the first installment of the series Stormbreaker.
