Review: Nightshade Revenge

Nightshade Revenge is the latest Alex Rider adventure, taking readers into the teenage spy’s dangerous, roller coaster world. It would certainly help if you’ve read Nightshade (the previous book in the series), but it’s not essential. 

Doing well on exams is the main thing on Alex's mind, that and skateboarding. When his mate Tom disappears, Alex discovers it’s because a criminal organisation wants to manipulate him. 

Alex is determined to help find Tom, and is also drawn into the search for answers in relation to something strange going on in the gaming community.

Gamers around the world are immersing themselves in an augmented reality game. But this isn’t any augmented reality game. 

Some players are also taking part in a gaming arena wearing a haptic suit and headset which lets you see, feel, hear and smell what’s inside the game. What's real and what's not?

Is there a connection between Tom's abduction and the deaths of the gamers? Will Alex manage to solve both mysteries and come out alive? 

Anthony Horowitz is a prolific writer, and Alex Rider is one of his most successful series. The action-packed, outrageous plot of Nightshade Revenge will reel you in.
