Have you read Antony Horowitz's "Alex Rider" saga? what do you think of it?
I think it's basically good except for the following:
1.- All the saga happens in one year while Alex Rider is 14, eight missions in one year? give me a brake, not even superman could do that.
2.- Every time Horowitz talks about money he mentions dollars, dollars in the UK sounds completely out of place.
3.- In the eighth book "Crocodile tears" Alex is in Scotland playing Texas Hold 'em, up to that point I was liking the book but this kinda spoiled it.

There are some quirks that seriously challenge likelihood, but that's the reason this is fiction. So the author fashioned an impossible character...for me that doesn't really detract from the plot or the action. I don't think it's the best spy series, but it's pretty decent.
Dollars is just a denomination denoting different value, so that one never really bothered me.
You may think of that one as another unlikelihood, but I understand it as a reflection of increasing globalization. It's just a game, and those things tend to spread beyond their original domains.
