about Alex Rider from Ark Angel

Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz

Alex Rider is a fourteen year old boy who lives with Jack Starbright, his legal guardian, in London. His parents (John and Helen Rider) died in an airplane crash when he was only a few months old. He was raised by his uncle, Ian Rider, who took him all over the world and taught him different languages and many skills such as rock climbing and scuba diving. His uncle was killed when Alex turned 14. Alex found out that his uncle was not a bank manager like he pretended to be. He actually worked for M16 which is a spy organization. Alex joined M16 soon after the death of his uncle. Working for M16, Alex went on many missions. In Ark Angel, Alex goes on another mission for MI6 and has to spy on one of the richest people in the world who is making a space hotel. Alex had to go up into space and move a bomb in order to blow the whole hotel up. In the end he lives at home with Jack and attends the Brookland School. Alex Rider is in many books: Stormbreaker, Point Blank, Skeleton Key, Eagle Strike, Scorpia, Ark Angel and Snakehead.
