Never Say Die

Other Info

Anthony Horowitz says - "It's been five weeks since Alex left England at the end of SCORPIA RISING, and the new chapter finds him living with Sabina's family in San Francisco. As you'll see, things aren't going very well for him. I'm not giving too much of the plot away but I will tell you that by the end of this chapter, everything has changed. Something happens that forces Alex to leave American and head back east - starting with Cairo. There are some old friends, but also some old enemies, waiting for him. As always, there's plenty of action."

• George Hutton from Dormston Secondary School - 'Teenagers with an interest of adventure and mystery/crime would definitely love this book. This book would also be of interest of people who enjoy undercover investigations of massive scale crimes.'
• Alexander Bisland, age 11 - 'This is my favourite book EVER and I wish it was made into a film. I hope Anthony Horowitz will write another book in this series. I give it 1,000 stars!'

• Ross Dawson age 13 - 'Fans of the Alex Rider series will not be disappointed with this book, as it is every bit as thrilling as I’d hoped.'

Never Say Die Press Reviews

Never Say Die is one of the most dramatically ambitious of the novels so far... The suspense never slackens and the plot, even at its most far-fetched, is underpinned with nerdishly forensic detail, which has an irresistible how stuff works appeal.  The Daily Telegraph

The Alex Rider stories are action adventures about defeating cartoon villains who are intent on global domination, but, although Alex is brave and athletic, what really makes him and the books special is his ingenuity... The series not only has explosions and chases: it shows that cleverness can win. * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *

Readers who like their adventure action packed will love the new Alex Rider novel, Never Say Die, by Anthony Horowitz. Our favourite teen spy whizzes around the world, from San Francisco to Egypt, at breakneck speed. * Irish Independent *

Anthony Horowitz is second to none when it comes to writing page-turners so his fans will be thrilled to read the new Alex Rider novel. * Daily Express *

This latest story is as exciting as its predecessors. An unputdownable read with breath-taking action and enough clever plot twists to make the reader dizzy. * Primary Times
