Product description

The Five have been found – and now the true horror is beginning. As evil is unleashed upon the world, the Nightrise corporation has wicked plans for them. The Old Ones have taken hold in the city of Hong Kong – now a city of the dead, governed by monsters and demons. Once in, there is no way out… and Scarlett is trapped there. Now, where puddles of water turn into puddles of blood, where hideous creatures stalk the streets and the very air is poisoned, the Five must face a horror even worse than death. If they fail, there will be no escape… Screamingly scary and shuddering with menace, this fourth episode will make you sweat with fear.

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..

    Shocking twist

    This epic 'quintology' (is that what you call a five-parter?) reaches its fourth and best instalment yet. Set in a creepy Hong Kong overrun with evil Old Ones, it ends on a shocking twist that will leave you desperate to read the next (and final) book... Hurry up Mr Horowitz, I want to know how it all ends!

    This Book is one of the best books in the Series. It is gripping and suspenseful, so you won’t be able to put it down! It has twists and turns – it has everything you could possibly want a book to have. I recommend this book for ages 9-12.

    I picked up this book and thought it looked pretty cool- kids with powers is always awesome! * * * *! But still pretty scary/freaky.

    In this finale to the series, the five are brought together by more danger and mystic powers. Scarlett feels unimportant and lost, but her powers are the strongest of all- summoning things beyon dher imagination.
