This essential short story collection gathers seven gripping episodes from across his extraordinary career, from a routine trip to the dentist that spirals into a high-speed chase through the streets of London, to a school trip with a deadly twist nobody could have predicted. Featuring familiar and formidable assailants from the best-loved Alex Rider universe, the collection also includes three brand-new stories written especially for this edition, offering fresh missions even devoted fans won't have encountered before. Each story is self-contained, making this an ideal pick-up-and-read book for reluctant readers, long journeys, or dipping into between the full-length novels. Horowitz's trademark blend of pace, wit and genuine peril is on full display throughout, delivering the same cinematic thrills that have made the Alex Rider novels and Amazon Prime series so popular with young readers. Whether read cover to cover or one story at a time, Secret Weapon is a must-have addition to any Alex Rider collection and a thrilling introduction to Britain's most famous teenage secret agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven complete, fast-paced Alex Rider short stories in one paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes three brand-new, never-before-seen missions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect standalone entry point or companion to the full novel series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for reluctant readers thanks to bite-sized, self-contained stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by number one bestselling author Anthony Horowitz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for fans of spy thrillers, action and adventure fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnthony Horowitz is one of Britain's most prolific and successful authors, best known for the bestselling Alex Rider series, following teenage MI6 spy Alex Rider through a string of high-stakes missions.
