What is the new alex rider book

This statement should thrill younger Horowitz fans anticipating the return of their favourite teen spy hero, who has starred in 11 best-selling — an estimated 19 million readers and counting — 'young adult' adventures to date, the most recent being 's Never Say Die. Indeed, Alex Rider enthusiasts have plenty to get excited about at the moment: while Nightshade isn't due to hit bookshelves until next year, Alex Rider: Secret Weapon, a book of Alex Rider short stories, will be published this June. There's also a new Alex Rider TV adaptation in the works, not that Horowitz is giving anything away — particularly with regard to who's set to play his most famous character. As Horowitz explains, while his wife Jill Green is producing the new series on which he is an 'executive producer', he's actually "not that involved" in bringing Alex to the small screen. But, that said, this time I made the decision not to write the series.
