Russian Roulette by Anthony Horowitz

The tenth book in the Alex Rider series, "Russian Roulette", was recently released in paperback and we're looking forward to reading this explosive prequel to the series. You can see the trailer for the book and read an excerpt on the Alex Rider website as well as reading our pupil review:

"Russian Roulette" by Anthony Horowitz is a prequel to the Alex Rider series but focuses on the life story of a Russian contract killer, Yassen Gregorovich. He has been given orders to assassinate 14 year-old spy, Alex Rider. Yassen begins to remember when he was 14 and what has happened since then. When it returns to modern times Yassen thinks of his next target and what secrets he knows about the boy’s past. This book is a gripping action and you begin to feel for the characters and Yassen’s dilemma.
