Anthony Horowitz writes:

“It’s incredible to think that it’s been twenty-five years since my reluctant teenage spy first sprang to life in Stormbreaker. Since then, there have been thirteen more books, a feature film, three series on television and worldwide sales of over twenty-one million copies. You can buy Alex in Greek, in Welsh, in Russian, in Thai – and it makes me smile to think that he’s been chased, tied up and shot at in all those countries and more.

“If you already know the Alex Rider series, then do take a look at the new Stormbreaker Silver Edition as you may enjoy the extra short story, Nine Ways to Die, which takes Alex to Iceland for the first time, and is included in the back of the book.”
