Alex Rider:Eagle Strike

Alex and his friend Sabina were on a beach in Cornwall and Alex saw a mysterious boat that held the person that killed his uncle Ian Rider. The person's name was Yassen Gregororvich. Yassen was working for Damien Cray. Damien Cray invented a game system called The Game Slayer. He had a big party in a really big dome. Lots of reporters and people who were fans of Sony and Playstation and Xbox were disappointed that Damien Cray made a game system that would be the best game system in the world. There was one game only at first because he didn't invent any other games yet. The first game was called Feathered Serpent. The game was a killing game and he asked if any teenagers were there at the party and then Alex raised his hand to try out the Game Slayer. He almost beat the whole chapter but Damien Cray was mean enough to think that Alex would make it look too easy so when Alex's game avatar was in the Maze of Mirrors, he had to fight different guards. Everybody knows that Damien Cray hated war but he knows what kind of games teenagers like. So a woman said why did you invent a game with killing when you don't like killing? So Damien Cray had a person run over the woman. I will now tell you the middle of the book. Sabina's house that her mom and dad rented for the summer got blown up by Yassen. He was a contract killer who only worked for people who paid him a lot of money when he finished the job. Yassen got killed in the end by Damien Cray. Damien got defeated by being on a cart and going down the emergency escape slide off the plane. Sabina pushed him on the cart and out the door onto the emergency escape slide onto solid ground of the runway. Alex nearly got killed by Damien Cray but he had a bullet-proof ski jacket. The book is called Eagle Strike because the operation that Damien Cray was doing was called Eagle Strike.

My favorite part of the book was when Damien Cray told Alex how he would make seven different kinds of atomic bombs shoot from secret places and mountains. I liked this part because the button that he pushed could only be pushed by the President of the United States. So Damien Cray put latex on his hand and insisted on shaking the President's hand which gave him the fingerprint of the President. The button that he pushed had a sensor so whoever pushed it it wouldn't work unless the President pushed it. I thought that part was amazing because it had cool technology.

Mom's note: This book sounds incredibly complicated to me! I believe that Dad has already read this one and maybe he would have been better to help out since I'm still not sure what happened in the book!

  1. Zede is not sure what happened either but it sounds exciting.

    Fingerprint technology is on a lot of computers. I have it on one of mine but I turned it off because I don't have too many sercrets. Sounds like an interesting story with good technology.

  2. David, maybe you can help me out here. I'm a little confused.

    Why did Damien ask Yossen to blow up Sabrina's house?
