This book has to be the best of the entire series. Point Blanc was OK and Skeleton Key was a HUGE disappointment. The whole concept of "taking over the world" and "getting revenge" has really got a bit old.
Luckily eagle strike was about neither of the two. Damian Cray Ida. Totally unique villain who actually wants to help the world, but that the cost of millions of lives. He is perhaps you would say my favorite villain as his intentions are different from the classic world domination and wants revenge.
Anthony has read written a great book and the death of Yassen and the part of the truth of Alex's father added a great twist and of course the merging in with the introduction to the next book namely Scorpia.
This book is far better than all the other Alex Rider books as this time Alex is all on his own with no help form the government.
This is the only Alex Rider book that I've given 5 stars.

Honestly, this book is saved mostly by my eternal crush on Yassen.

Ugh, this series is nowhere near as good as I remembered, but I still continue because my inner child continues to need lines like, "It seemed to Alex that his only destiny was to be lied to and manipulated by adults who cared nothing about him."

Best of the series till now
Loved it very much... Felt like a James bond or Bourne novel for me... Even though I was 30 years old, author took me into the shoes of 15 year old. Will continue the series!!
