Books like Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz
When a sniper’s bullet ends up missing him by inches, Alex Rider is still fighting for his life and the life of a fragile patient in an exclusive hospital. The patient turns out to be the son of Nikolai Drevin, a global billionaire whose ambitious project, Ark Angel—a luxury hotel orbiting Earth—has caught the attention of the eco‑terrorist group Force Three. Force Three believes the hotel endangers the planet and threatens to detonate the space structure, spearing molten glass and steel down through the atmosphere, causing mass casualties on the ground. With the clock ticking, Alex must thwart the terrorists and keep the young boy—and the future of space‑tourism—safe.
