1) The document summarizes the plot of the book "Eagle Strike" by Anthony Horowitz. It describes Alex Rider seeing his father's killer at the beach and being caught up in a plot involving a flash drive with missile launch codes.
2) Alex infiltrates the villain Damian Cray's company and learns of his plan to take over Air Force One and launch nuclear missiles.
3) On Air Force One, Damian activates the missiles but Alex stops his plan and causes the plane to crash, though not before learning a secret about his father's death from the dying Yassen.
2. Cover Explanation
I put the photo of the beach on the cover because Alex sees the
person who killed his father while he is at the beach. The flash
drive and the missile are tied together because the flash drive
has the codes that allowed them to shoot the missiles. The
reason why I put Air Force One, was Damian Cray took over Air
Force One. I put the bullfighter there because Alex was put in a
bull fight ring as a matador. Finally I put the bullet proof vest
there because Alex was saved by one when he got shot.
