We’ll break down the rest of the changes in more detail later on. The character of Alex’s schoolfriend Tom (played by Game of Thrones‘ Brenock O’Connor), who doesn’t appear in book two, has been written in and expanded to give the spy character a more grounded ‘normal teen’ counterpart. Written by Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider is a collection of 2 books starting with Stormbreaker and ending with Secret Weapon: Seven Untold Adventures from.
That’s not to say the TV adaptation is entirely faithful. The rest of the series’ storyline though, which involves Alex infiltrating a secretive boarding school for the troubled teens of global billionaires, comes from ‘Point Blanc’. The strange circumstances surrounding the loss of Alex’s uncle Ian Rider (played by Broadchurch’s Andrew Buchan) are borrowed from the first book, as is Alex’s reluctant recruitment by British Intelligence. However, the simple writing evokes full images, cast and settings. The breakneck pace of the story draws the reader on, and the simple use of the language to convey the story make it that much easier to read just one more page, and another, and another.
Featuring a desolate mountain location and a high-stakes snowboard chase, book fans will know that Sony’s new Alex Rider TV show is adapted from ‘Point Blanc’, the second in Anthony Horowitz’s hugely successful teen spy thriller novels.Įlements of the first book ‘Stormbreaker’ have been woven in with the main plot of ‘Point Blanc’ to create the new eight-episode series, which introduces the world to teenage MI6 agent Alex. STORMBREAKER is an exciting, easy to read, and hard to put down novel.
