YAAlex Rider Adventure series.
When teenage spy Alex encounters the man who killed his uncle, he embarks on a very personal mission that ends with the launch of nuclear missiles and a shootout aboard Airforce One. The plot's preposterous, but the action is nonstop and Alex is as brave and resourceful as ever. Fans will be thrilled that the conclusion virtually assures a sequel.
