What Is The Setting Of Stormbreaker

Improved Essays
The book Stormbreaker, written by Anthony Horowitz is a great book. Stormbreaker is about a 14 year old boy, Alex Rider, who gets recruited into the spy business after his uncle, who was a spy, dies. He is sent to a millionaire's home and manufacturing plant to check a few things out for M16. The setting of the story is in London, England, where M16 is stationed. This affects the main character because he is headed to look over something at Port Talon and at the end of the book he has to find a way back to London before Herod Sayle, the man who he is investigating, gets there.
The story kept me involved throughout the book because there was always something to wonder about. Alex seemed to be in a tight situation so it kept me on edge wondering
