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!!

Eagle Strike is the fourth book in the Alex Rider series and it is the most ambitious book so far. Whilst holidaying in the South of France, Alex’s hosts are subjected to a horrifying and vicious attack. Alex recognises his old enemy, Yassen Gregorovich, the man who killed his uncle and he realises that this is the man behind the attacks.
Alex takes what he knows to MI6 but this time they are not interested. Alex is left out in the cold and it is up to him to find out what is going on and once again to save the world.
This is a brilliant and explosive book and I couldn't put it down! I am looking forward to the rest of the books in the series and I believe that the rest of the series in on an equal par with the Power of Five series (which Anthony Horowitz only writing after the fifth Alex Rider book).

WOW, esto fue intenso. Esta lleno de frases divertidísimas y momentos impactante, el plan malvado no lo vi venir por ningún lado y la acción es súper absorbente. Reaparece Yassen, que siempre es un plus, descubrimos más sobre la familia de Alex y viajamos a nuevas ciudades.
Aunque usaran a Sabina como la típica novia de héroe, creo que su comportamiento y actuación fueron muy creíbles y la aprecio como personaje y amiga de Alex.
Lo que más increíble me resulta es Jack y como sólo está ahí para que Alex tenga "supervisión adulta", le deja hacer lo que le da la gana y te olvidas de ella la mayor parte del tiempo.
A pesar de esa falla, me encantó el libro. El final me destrozó los feelings y no sé como superar la muerte que ocurre.
Muy recomendado y enganchadísima a la serie.

Fantastic forth book, this was the best book in the series so far. Full of action, alex had to overcome a lot of dangers.
