Find out how fourteen-year-old Alex Rider went from schoolboy to superspy!

Mission 1: Stormbreaker

When his guardian dies in suspicious circumstances, Alex Rider finds his world turned upside down. Forcibly recruited into MI6, Alex has to take part in gruelling SAS training exercises. Then, armed with a special set of secret gadgets, he's off on his first mission to Cornwall to investigate multi-billionaire Sayle. Sayle has offered to give one free supercomputer to every school in the country – but there's more to the gift than meets the eye...

Mission 2: Point Blanc

Alex is back at school trying to adapt to his new double life ... and to double homework. But MI6 have other plans for him. Investigations into the "accidental" deaths of two of the world's most powerful men lead to Point Blanc Academy - an exclusive school in the French Alps for rebellious rich kids, run by the sinister Dr Grief. Alex must infiltrate the academy as a pupil and establish the truth about what is really happening there – but can he alert the world to what he discovers before it is too late?

Mission 3: Skeleton Key

MI6 need Alex's help once again. A routine reconnaissance mission at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships sets off a terrifying chain of events that sees Alex on the run from a Chinese triad gang. Forced to hide out, Alex is sent to Cayo Esqueleto – Skeleton Key – an island near Cuba. Waiting for him there is General Alexei Sarov - a coldly insane Russian with explosive plans to rewrite history. Alex must outwit Sarov, as the seconds tick away towards the end of the world...

Mission 4: Eagle Strike

Relaxing in the South of France with his friend Sabina Pleasure and her family, Alex is finally able to feel like any ordinary fourteen-year-old.

Especially when Alex tells them that Damian Cray – celebrity, human rights campaigner and the power behind Gameslayer, a new state-of-the-art games console – could be involved. Alex is determined to track down his friends' attackers, even if he must do it alone. But it's a path that leads to a long-buried secret - and a discovery more terrible than anything he could have imagined...

Or will Alex join Scorpia - and get his revenge?
