From most like to least liked.
1. Scorpia- because alex finds ouit a lot about his parents, and alex leaves the commands of MI6 for a while.
2. Stormbreaker_ because this is the book that introduced alex, and he found out all the things about ian rider
3. Skeleton key- because of sarov coz he was one of the best villains, and also alex had to adapt to american lifestyle and accent.
4. Eagle strike- because alex does most of the mission by himself and also the life video game
5. Point Blanc- It was too short but t5he gadgets were cool
6. Ark Angel- because it wasn't as good as the other books and although it was supposed to be the last book it didn't have a very good, exciting, dramatic ending.

favourite to least favourite:
1. point blanc: snowboarding part is really cool!!
2. stormbreaker: the bit where he goes to military school
3. ark angel: the outer space part is good.
4. skeleton key: the part at the end when he magnetises the guy
5. scorpia: suspenseful....is he going to turn bad?
6. eagle strike: didn't really like this one....it was slow to start. all the exciting stuff happened in the last couple of chapters, but the first part was really boring.

I actually rate my favourite books on villians as I think they set up a book. What order would you rate the books in if it was purely on the villians

my order based purely on villians:
1. Skeleton Key- I loved sarov
2. Scorpia
3. Eagle Strike - Damian Cray was okay but not as good as others
4. Stormbreaker
5. Ark Angel
6. Point Blanc
The last three are all really close because I didn't really like any of the villains in those books. They either weren't as complex or not as developed in my opinion

My favourite is definitely Scorpia. It's completely different to the other stories as it is more personal to Alex, and doesn't follow the usual "alex goes spying for MI6" format.
then the order is:
-Eagle Strike (yassen rocks! i wish he hadn't died.)
-skeleton key
-stormbreaker
-point blanc
-Ark angel (a lot of this was a dissapointment, but i loved some of the scenes)

Hmmm... This was difficult but these are my favourites (in order):
1, Ark Angel. I loved all the stunts that Alex did in this one--the hospital scene, the fire escape, the go-kart racing and going into space. That was awesome
2. Scorpia, Eagle Strike and Skeleton Key. I really enjoyed Scorpia because of how personal it was with Alex; discovering the truth about his parents. I also thought that Nile was brilliant. Eagle Strike--loved the Gameslayer, especially the "real" version when Alex has to go through it. In Skeleton Key I thought the bomb crisis was quite believable and I loved the shark scene.
3. Point Blanc. I loved the whole cloning thing and the snowboarding scene was fantastic.
4. Stormbreaker. A really good introduction to the series (and I especially enjoyed the jellyfish scene and the underground mine scene). However, it wasn't as "action-filled" as the rest of the series--Anthony was just warming up

1. stormbreaker: i know mr grin isn't the main villian but he's cool

4. skeleton key: general sarov...pretty sneaky (the whole submarine thing....good way to cover your tracks!!)
5. ark angel: nikolei drevin.
6. eagle strike: pyscho!!!!

It's blatently got to be Scorpia! It's so hard to predict what is going to happen, and who is telling the truth and who is double (or even triple) bluffing! The rest are also awesome, but are much more predictable: alex saves the day and the bad guy gets dealt with. With Scorpia, it's all about his personal mission rather than the 'saving the world' thing, which makes a nice change.

my favs (best to least)
Scorpia- the whole book had my gripped and the ending made me so hyper for days which is so unlike me. lol.
Ark Angel- fantastic book...the chapters when he is in space actually amde me feel nausious by AH amazing descriptions. fantasticaly written.
Eagle Strike- really cool death scenes in this one...like the death of Damian and the guy who was crushed by nickels. ^.^
Point Blanc- i really enjoyed this one...one of my favs. i love the room 13 bit.
Stormbreaker- of course it's absolutely fantastic, it's classic, it's original. i think i've just read it way too many times. XD
skeleton Key-this book was still outstanding, but one of the least memorable in my opnion. nothin new really evolved from it. just my point of view. regardless it was still FANTASTIC
