Never Say Die (Alex Rider)

Product Information

The first novel, Stormbreaker, was released in the United Kingdom in the year 2000 and was adapted into a film in 2006, starring Alex Pettyfer as the titular protagonist. The second and fourth books were adapted into a TV series in 2020 and 2021 respectively, this time starring Otto Farrant. Walker Books published the first novels in the United Kingdom alongside Puffin in the United States, but more recent entries in the series were published by Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Books. Sadly I think I have finally outgrown the Alex Rider series. What started out as a much beloved book series for me growing up has simply grown stale. I'd argue that this is really Alex Rider #10, since Russian Roulette features another character....

I don’t know how anyone can tell them apart. They even wear the same clothes all the time, which is a bit creepy.” In May 2017, it was announced that ITV was developing a television adaptation of the Alex Rider novels. The series is being produced by Eleventh Hour Films, with Tutankhamen screenwriter and novelist Guy Burt acting as showrunner. Eleventh Hour Films is run by Horowitz's wife Jill Green.

The novel wasn't flawless though. I'm not sure if this was written more rushed, dumbed down to introduce new readers to the world of Alex Rider, or if I've become more perceptive over the years but some of the writing was unnecessarily repetitive and distracting, for example the constant mentions of "your uncle, Ian Rider", after the first or second time "Ian Rider" or "Ian" would've sufficed, we know who he is by now!

It was so weird seeing Alex himself actually want to put himself in danger to find his friend and person who he's only cared for. Alex is such a determined character and the character growth has been huge even in a short amount of time. However with Alex's other missions this one seems the most personal one yet and he doesn't really think a lot of the time and mask rash decisions which could have almost got him killed.

As I previously mentioned, this book does not add anything new to the series, which made me seriously question its existence. This was particularly frustrating to me since I know Horowtiz is capable of doing so, as he previously demonstrated with my favorite Alex rider installment - Scorpia. In this installment, we saw Alex act on his frustrations with MI6 and flirt with the dark side. That was a highlight for me because it was showing a different side of a character that felt natural and true to the progression of the over-arching plot. Never say die does none of that, it could easily be the second book in the series (instead of a staggering number 11). I thought Sabina was not very supportive of Alex, she is supposed to be his GF? Now she has someone new?
