If anyone knows of any more promo stories or short Alex stories let me know. Sometimes this board is the only way to find out about them. Thanks

The bonus chapter of Snakehead is at the end of the paperback version or on alexrider.com.

I'm not sure if the source of the others are legal so I'll just say google search has shown up all of them bar Alex Underground which I haven't read.

 shocked rolleyes grin
I went on Amazon.co.uk and have been buying a lot of Alex Rider items that we don't have in the US. One of the items that I
got - "Alex Rider Mission Files-Confidential" is really a cool,  hardback book- a complete dossier on AR. One little special thing that I found in it was - The Short Story- 'Christmas at Gunpoint' is at the end of the book, as an after thought by AH. It wasn't that expensive either.
 grin
This is an alternative if you can find it anywhere.

I know I mentioned this before but TEACH YOUR GRANNY HOW TO TEXT has an Alex Rider short story in it --it's SECRET WEAPON. ALso the library may have a copy of ALEX UNDERGROUND from SUMMER READING SPECIAL  August 3,2008 p4-5. KIDS' NIGHT IN   2  has Resistance to Interrogation.

because its up to AH's publicist and those people. They probably should somewhere, but if they arent told about it they cant put it up lol
And there is also the problem that everyone comes from anywhere in the world, and cant exactly read the times newspaper to check for short stories, if you get what i mean

I do. But it's still very annoyhing to know that there may be Alex Rider stories out there that we won't ever find out about or get to read. On line there are a few sites that still say there are only two short stories and I find it sad that Alex Rider fans will not get to read those and may not even know about them even though those fans are promoting Alex Rider and/or lvoe teh books and character so much they have made web sites about him. I feel they have a right to find out about the short stories and get a chance to read them.
