Books by Anthony Horowitz
“Then you have Anthony Horowitz, who was a tremendous Bond fan, write Trigger Mortis (2015). But his books were so popular—and he captured Fleming’s spirit so well—that he wound up writing three. All three of Horowitz’s are tied closely to Fleming’s canon…I’ve chosen Forever and a Day, which takes place right before Casino Royale, the first Bond novel. It has the premise that 007 has been killed.” Read more...
Nightshade Revenge
by Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider (book 13). Fast-paced action spy series.
Want to start at the beginning of the series? The first book is Stormbreaker.
The protagonist is 14 at the start of the series and although he doesn't age much between each book, the content gets edgier. A 9 year old could enjoy the first few books, especially if you read aloud to them, but the later books are probably best suited to older middle grade readers.
“He’s so talented and so versatile. He goes from the Alex Rider books through to Sherlock Holmes through to James Bond through to a detective story without even stopping. I don’t know how he does it. He is amazing, but this is my favorite of his.” Read more...
