Sincerely,
Your #1 Fan,

Dear Anthony,
I love your books. The only one that I haven’t started reading/finished is battles and quests. Even that I have heard the first chapter. I am currently reading Eion Colfer books whilst I wait for your next book to come out. Well done on managing to sell about 50 different copies of myths and legends by the way!
I have all of your first Power of five books AND most of the new, rewritten versions.
P.S. What is your email address?
Dear Anthony
What is your favourite book by Eion Colfer???
I saw a comment from you on the blurb of one of his books!
P.S. Are you writing any other books currently other than the last power of five, (forgot it’s name) and Scorpia Rising? I loved the first chapter, (as with all of your books) and just can’t wait to buy it! How do you become a Admin?

Osmond C.
What are you going to wirte after the Alex Rider books come to an end?
Are all of Alex Rider books going to be made into graphic noveles?
Alex Rider books are incredible!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I CAN’T WAIT TIL MARCH!
It’s too bad this is the final book in the series – though I look forward to reading whatever else is written!
The Alex Rider series is one of my favorites, written extremely well.
I am dying to read the last of the Alex Rider series. I was looking forward to you coming to Malta,would you ever have a chance to come?
Hey! I am SOOOOOO excited to read Scorpia RIsing and I can’t hold on much longer! I’m on the verge of insanity just from waiting! C: Please at least write another post! It’s been over a year since you’ve posted back on Power of Five! I dying from the suspense! And meanwhile, I can’t wait to see what you’re doing to Alex! AHHHH! Thank you for writing all these posts. I know you MUST hear this from everyone you meet, But I am your biggest fan. OK. I’ll narrow it down just a bit. Your biggest fan in Canada. Ha! Now I’ve got a chance!
P.S DON”T HURT ALEX!
P.S.S I think I speak for everyone that posts here when I say that you MUSN’T KILL ALEX
Dear Anthony Horowitz,
I LOVE your books!!!!! I’m so scared about the plot twists in this book. PLEASE don’t kill Jack! :’( I will cry if that happens. A lot.
I know you must be sick of hearing this but when will the next Gatekeeper book be out I’ve been on edge about it for the past two years. To be honest with i didn’t like ready and i still don’t except for the Alex Rider series and Gatekeeper series. For a random thought in your opinion what is the ONE favorite book you wrote.
You Rock! I love how you describe each and every tumble, move,person, and gaget!! I love it!!! What do you think you will write about next? Can you really believe that Alex Rider has been going on for 10 Years!!! I can’t believe you ‘re ending both series!!
Is it wrong that I’m 17 and I still read your books?…
Well I’ve been a devoted fan of yours ever since Alex rider first dropped in 2000 when I was 7 and have read and re-read your Alex Rider and Power of Five series over and over again…
And I am really anticipated for the release of your final Alex Rider Book and your epic 200,000 word finale to the Power of 5 series!
Hi
I didn’t read Alex Rider yet, but I have a question. When the last book of the power of five ak The Gate Keepers will release. I read the first three so far and I’m not in hurry fot the 4th book because I don’t want to wait that long. and I’de like to know the name of the book.

Dear Anthony your books are awesome. Ihave been waiting for a new book for a lond time for this final mision. thank you for the new book and again u r the best author i hav read books from -david argueta
Mr Horowitz you are the best writer ever I have gotten every one in my middle-school to read the series I now write my own series but its not published its for my teacher.You inspired me in many ways thank you.I hope you keep writing the Alex rider series i will always keep up with you.
thank you
Aman
Hey, I really like the Power of five series, I was wondering, when is the next book going to be released.What is it called, and where can I read a sneak peek.
hi mr horowitz,
is that your real surname and where can i read the first chapter of scorpis rising??
Confused!
Can’t wait for till march
your idea about alex going to a school in cairo and your idea of the life of Yassen sounds amazing
p.s your books rule!!!!
beat that DAHL
I am in love with Alex Rider- and can’t wait for Scorpia Rising! But in Skeleton Key, the two CIA agents were Belinda Troy and Glen Carver. In Ark Angel, they are mentioned as Belinda Troy and Tom Turner. Was that intentional?
Another thing- well, 2. First of all, Point Blank ends with one Alex walking away and the other dead. It is never confirmed which is which. Has Alex Rider been the clone of Dr. Grief the whole time? Also, you hinted that someone who has been in the last 8 books will die- I hate to think it is Alex but that’s what I’m betting at. Jack, Mrs. Jones, Alan Blunt and Smithers have been around too….I better come to terms. I am also guessing that someone we thought was dead wont be- that’d be a fun twist.
your books are AMAZING i hope scorpia are even deadlier than before and there will be more blood you are the best author for the 20 centerie THE BEST
Dear Mr. Horowitz,
I first read your books in the hospital in the the summer of 2008. I had a perforation in my colon, and was stick in the hospital for a week. I wasn’t allowed to leave my bed, to walk, or to roll onto my sides. The TV and internet would not work. I was trapped in a grey room, with grey walls and sheets and personality (remind you of someone?) My brother took pity on me and let me borrow his Strombreaker book. I was hooked. In one week I read all the Alex Rider books he had, and eagerly awaited the new one each year. He grew out of them, but I grew up with them. They taught me to love reading and adventure and exploring new places through pages of small print. In short, your writing changed my life. I looked forward to this last book, said that a childhood icon is coming to an end. But let me tell you, Mr. Horowitz. It was a good one.
Thank you for all the impressive work and care,
Moria
I am french but i read much at your book and it is super
your are the best writer for kid i read sory if i am bad to write in english.
I like the serie the power of five and the series alexrider
Hi ,
I love the alex rider and power of five books , they are truly amazing . When you were in India during the bookaroo festival i wasn’t able to meet you .When is your next india visit happening ?
It is very sad that whatever book gets published in U.K or the U.S it takes a year to be released in India .
So i will be able to read scorpia rising only after an year.:-(

Are you going to make all the alex rider books into movie. I hope so but i wish they were more like the book!
I really want to know when this book comes out read the rest of the series and my friend and I loved it.
Mr. Horowitz,
Wow, that was a spectacular book! I finished it earlier today and I think that was the best book you have ever written. I am a huge fan of Alex Rider and am sad that it has come to an end, but happy (sort of) that this book is how it came to that end. I cried (that’s the sort of part), I laughed, and I gasped plenty of times! Thank you for writing such an amazing series!
Izy
Dear Sir Anthony Horowitz
Scorpia Rising’s release date is just 10 days away….. i truly cant wait.
Unfortunately i will be in India around the 31st so my humble request is for you to please tell me when it will release in India and hopefully you can somehow change date of scorpia rising to a date closer to the UK release.
There are MANY alex rider fans in India who cannot wait for the book to come out. Please sir, release Scorpia Rising in India as soon as possible as AMAZON takes 30 days to ship the book to India
I love all of your books! When we read Stormbreaker at school before christmas, I bought the book and read on! Since then, I’ve read up to Snakehead, Three of Diamonds, The greek who stole christmas and The Power of Five series so far. I found the afterwords interesting, especially the Snakehead one (Names). I can’t wait to read the last three books!

Hi i love your books i own all of the power of five alax rider diamond brothers, and i am wondering when will the last power of five be relased as i can’t wait for it as i have read the power of five series 5 times so far.
Hello.
I would really like to know if we could get an estimated date on the release of the fifth Power of Five book. A month, two, six, a year, two years? It would really stop all the pestering inquieries.
I also want to say how much I love the Alex Rider series. I wish you had not finished it. Why did you give it such a sad ending? He was already scarred for life, why damage Alex even more?
Will you write any more Diamond Brother books? They really are fantasticly addictive and I would love to read another one!
Thank you !!!
