Ark Angel

Horowitz, Anthony. Ark Angel. NY: Scholastic Inc, 2006. 323 pages. (Action Adventure / Thriller Series)

The book Ark Angel and the story inside takes place in New York City, London, England, outer space, in the first outerspase hotel, and the Caribbean. The main characters in this book are Alex Rider, an MI6 spy, Jack Starbright, Alex’s guardian, Nikolei Drevin, the richest man in England, and Paul Drevin, Nikolei’s son. In Ark Angel, Alex Rider has to save the world once again by stopping a mad man who’s trying to blow up his outer space hotel and the moon with it. By blowing up the moon and the hotel the craters from the moon will hit and destroy Planet Earth. To stop the moon from blowing up Alex has to go to the hotel, fight a maniac in zero gravity, and relocate a bomb. Some other interesting events in Ark Angel are that Alex has to deal with an eco-terrorist group that’s not even real, and that he gets locked into a submarine a couple hundred feet down in the ocean with only a couple minutes of air to spare.

I would recommend Ark Angel to anyone who likes to read a good book. I think anyone would read Ark Angel because it is exciting, action packed, and in some parts mysterious. Ark Angel is a fun book to read, and it goes fast because you just can’t put it down.
