Reviews
…there’s no doubting his ability to write a thrilling, action-packed story, one that is so fast paced readers will feel breathless at the end — and eager for more.
Good Reading Magazine
Alex’s new adventure, ‘Ark Angel’, is characterised, as its predecessors have been, by a vigorous plot, great action sequences, a fantastic storyline — and firm roots in the everyday.
The Sunday Age
An excellent action/suspense writer, Horowitz creates dynamic scenes so vividly that readers can’t bear to be interrupted. ‘Ark Angel’ repeats some patterns and motifs from earlier novels in the series, but some twists in the plot and the expanded setting are fresh and novel. There is no ambiguity in the conclusion of this novel: Alex Rider is back.

You won’t be able to put it down until you’ve read the very last page! — 4 stars: Cool as an ice cube in Eminems’s glass of Coke.
K-Zone Magazine
This is vintage Horowitz: a classy well-written yarn involving death-defying stunts, human drama and a hero aimed fair and square at young teenagers. Horowitz shows with Ark Angel that he remains at the top of his game. Welcome back Alex Rider.
The Sunday Tasmanian
This time even the sky is not the limit. Short, snappy prose makes this a pleasure to read.
