Alex Rider is an orphan turned teen superspy who's saving the world one mission at a time—from #1 New York Times bestselling author!
1. Stormbreaker
They told him his uncle died in an accident. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt, they said. But when fourteen-year-old Alex finds his uncle's windshield riddled with bullet holes, he knows it was no accident. What he doesn't know yet is that his uncle was killed while on a top-secret mission. But he is about to, and once he does, there is no turning back. Finding himself in the middle of terrorists, Alex must outsmart the people who want him dead. The government has given him the technology, but only he can provide the courage. Should he fail, every child in England will be murdered in cold blood.
2. Point Blanc
When an investigation into a series of mysterious deaths leads agents to an elite prep school for rebellious kids, MI6 assigns Alex Rider to the case. Before he knows it, Alex is hanging out with the sons of the rich and powerful, and something feels wrong. These former juvenile delinquents have turned well-behaved, studious—and identical—overnight. It's up to Alex to find out who is masterminding this nefarious plot, before they find him.
3. Skeleton Key
Alex Rider has been through a lot for his fourteen years. He's been shot at by international terrorists, chased down a mountainside on a makeshift snowboard, and has stood face-to-face with pure evil. Twice, young Alex has managed to save the world. And twice, he has almost been killed doing it. But now Alex faces something even more dangerous. The desperation of a man who has lost everything he cared for: his country and his only son. A man who just happens to have a nuclear weapon and a serious grudge against the free world. To see his beloved Russia once again be a dominant power, he will stop at nothing. Unless Alex can stop him first... Uniting forces with America's own CIA for the first time, teen spy Alex Rider battles terror from the sun-baked beaches of Miami all the way to the barren ice fields of northernmost Russia.
4. Eagle Strike
Sir Damian Cray is a philanthropist, peace activist, and the world's most famous pop star. But still it's not enough. He needs more if he is to save the world. Trouble is, only Alex Rider recognizes that it's the world that needs saving from Sir Damian Cray. Underneath the luster of glamour and fame lies a twisted mind, ready to sacrifice the world for his beliefs. But in the past, Alex has always had the backing of the government. This time, he's on his own. Can one teenager convince the world that the most popular man on earth is a madman bent on destruction-before time runs out?
5. Scorpia
Alex Rider, teen spy, has always been told he is the spitting image of the father he never knew. But when Alex learns that his father may have been an assassin for the most lethal and powerful terrorist organization in the world, Scorpia, his world shatters. Now Scorpia wants Alex on their side, and Alex no longer has the strength to fight them. That is, until he learns of Scorpia’s latest plot: an operation known only as “Invisible Sword” that will result in the death of thousands of people. Can Alex prevent the slaughter, or will Scorpia prove once and for all that the terror will not be stopped?
6. Ark Angel
The sniper’s bullet nearly killed him. But Alex Rider managed to survive . . . just in time for more trouble to come his way. When kidnappers attempt to snatch a fellow patient from the exclusive hospital where Alex is recovering, he ...

Alex Rider The Complete Missions 1-11 in paperback are published by Walker Books. This box set is absolutely beautiful. As all the paperbacks sit together in the box it spells out Alex Rider. I wanted to read the Alex Rider box set as I instantly became a fan of Alex rider after watching Stormbreaker on DVD. Although this box set is aimed at 9-12 year olds, I'm a young lady who just loves reading Alex rider, it's not just the Action, adrenaline and adventure, for me personally I love the imagination that Anthony Horowitz writes. I must say a huge thank you to Walker Books for sending me my fantastic complete missions 1-11box set. This box set is a perfect gift for someone.

Wow, I can’t believe how amazing this box set is! This is the complete set of missions, or books (excluding the short story collection), in the Alex Rider series including the newest 11th book ‘Never Say Die’. The box set comes wrapped in shrink wrap plastic and all eleven books come in a sturdy cardboard box.
The books in the box all have the latest updated cover images on them. These are the same images you’ll find in the more recently published individual books. As you can see in pictures, when the books are all placed into the cardboard box the spines of all the books have the words Alex rider clearly written across which is a nice touch and makes this feel all the more special to own.
I began reading the Alex Rider series in a backwards manner, by starting with book eleven, but from that book alone the series has gripped me and I’ve since read the collection of short missions called ‘Secret Weapon’ and I’ve been keen on reading the rest of the books which of course now I have this box set I’m going to do! Although I can’t comment on the whole series yet, from what I’ve already read I can say that this is such an exciting set of novels which are just packed with so much tension, action and adventure.
Alex Rider is like a kids version of James Bond and it feels very much like watching a movie when you read the books. There’s a lot of action that happens and you never know what’s going to happen next. The missions I’ve read so far have been so gripping and so amazing to read and I’m sure any fan of Alex Rider will love this box set, and also anyone who just loves the idea of an action adventure series with a kid who turns spy.
The books are all paperbacks and of good quality and although they do all fit into the box set nicely, they are also very well packed in so you may need to turn the box book-side down to get at least the first one out! This will make a lovely gift for anyone who loves the Alex Rider series or indeed anyone who may just enjoy such action thriller stories. Although the books are clearly aimed at kids, I’m sure many older will enjoy the stories too.

More childhood favourites in the Alex Rider series, Anthony Horowitz writing is awesome and has really powerful story telling for more young adult books in the spy kid genre.

The first book is a great introduction to the Alex Rider universe as it sets up his connection to MI6 but also leaves you with a bit of mystery on his Uncles death, as well as the disappearance and deaths of his parents.
