Response:

The book i am reading, Ark Angel, is about a teenage boy named Alex Rider, who is part of the European CIA, M16. (some people may know this book as part of the Alex Rider series and it is the last book) M16 is Britian's spy agency, and Alex is one of their best spies, and he is only 16. Previous books in this series include Stormbreaker, the Skeleton Key and several others. So far in the book we have learned that the first ever space hotel, Ark Angel, is going to be launced into orbit. However, as most spy stories go, there is a plot to destroy the space hotel because it is a "threat to the environment".

Q10:
One thing that confuses me in this book is the aspect of "eco-terrorists". In the book, there is a group of eco terrorists trying to destroy the space hotel, Ark Angel. The reason this confuses me is that whenever you think of a terrorist, you get the image of someone who doesnt care very much about the environment, or anything else for that matter. Reading about the terrorist in the book made me wonder if there is actually a such thing as an eco terrorist.
