(Age: 13+) Recommended. Alex Rider: Never Say Die is book 11 in the series for which Anthony Horowitz said he'd never write an another action-packed novel. After a 5 year hiatus, and now 15-years old, Alex Rider, is an ex-MI6 agent currently living in the United States with his friend, Sabrina. One day, Alex receives an email from his old caretaker and close friend, Jack Starbright, whom he thought was dead. Alex then travels to Cairo, Egypt, Jack's last known whereabouts.
