#Eagle strike series#

Where can one find exhilarating action at a breakneck pace? Eagle Strike has this and much, much more. Millions of people would be dead in just a couple of minutes. Review: The missiles had been launched from Air Force One. So be sure you pick up Eagle Strike, it is an amazing book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Horowitz made the end of the book a cliffhanger to lead you into the next book in the series, Scorpia. I felt that some of the scenes went very quickly and could have been lengthened, but it did not take away from the overall story.
In my opinion there is only one negative about the book. It is action packed and you will never want to put the book down. Overall I would give Eagle Strike five out of five stars. He also keeps the story not too simple, but not too complex making it a perfect read for middle and high school students Another great thing is how Anthony Horowitz describes everything it makes you feel like you are also part of the story.
Unlike some books, Eagle Strike doesn’t have any dry parts there is action on every page. Can Alex figure out what Eagle Strike is and stop everyone’s favorite pop star before time runs out or is Alex in over his head without the help of MI6?Įagle Strike is a well written book that will grab your attention and hold it throughout the entire book.
