Eagle Strike

langston_p - This book was again a really amazing great book. What happened was Alex was in Paris with his friend Sabina. But things go wrong very quickly when he spots Yassen Gregorovitch, the man who killed his uncle. He goes to investigate and suddenly finds a phone which Damian Cray answers, concluding that something bad is happening. Something really bad. He goes to tell MI6 but they turn him down, saying Damian Cray has no bad files and nothing negative about him, making it so that they couldn't help him or do anything about it. Alex then decides to save the world himself, with no gadgets aside from a bike that Smithers gave him. This book was very breathtaking and of course, it was so good that I just couldn't put it down. Many books have an amazing great beginning but horrible 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc books, but I this series was able to keep me interested for every book. This book was also great because Alex didn't have any small gadgets with him, making it so that he couldn't have any miraculous escape attempts, making it even more thrilling.
