yeah, it's the name of the computer. if you notice, all of AH AR book's names comes from whatever is the reason and threat to AR's mission.

Stormbreaker- the computer software
point blank- well....in the US it's point blank, but in the UK it's point blanc, which is the boreding school that would kidnapp their children to make millions by Dr. Grief's clones.
Skeleton Key- the name of the island where Alex's Mission was
Eagle Strike- operation eagle strike were the missiles destroying the major drug countries, even though it would destroy the innocent as well.
Scorpia- the name of the criminal orginization that tries to kill Alex
Ark Angel- the space hotel that was planned to be sent crashing into washington D.C.

hope that helped!

I don't think he's asking why the book is called stormbreaker, i think he's asking why the computer is...

In dutch the computer is called "lightning bolt"(literally translated)

There is a lightening bolt at the side of the computer which signifies a storm hence the name 'storm' being part of the title.

The name 'breaker' I can't think of anything for or what it signifies.

However, I have no idea how AH could have come up with the name stormbreaker. Maybe something made him relate that theme to the computer and it interlinks some way for him that only he would know what.

he has a point though,  Really though.  Why would a computer that is going to be one of the most standard computers in the UK be called stormbreaker.  It sound like a vidoe game not a PC.  I am not insulting the book though it is one of the best books in the world. (better than harry potter.)  Infact it should be the next harry potter.     CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!!! Cheesy

Then.. why did the author decide to put a lightning bolt on the side of his computer? lol, one more question, does AH check the message boards often? i know that he is busy, but he must come on maybe like.. once a week or once a month

it's not because you wonder where a name comes from that it means you think the name is wrong...
