Anthony Horowitz
Long before Alex Rider became a teenage icon or Sherlock Holmes returned to the page with fresh intrigue, Anthony Horowitz was crafting mysteries of his own—first in his imagination, then on the page. Born in 1955 in Middlesex, England, Horowitz grew up surrounded by stories, both real and invented. He discovered early that fiction was more than escape; it was a place to find order in chaos, to solve puzzles that real life couldn’t.
What sets Horowitz apart in the world of crime and thriller fiction is not just the breadth of his work, but the way he reinvents the familiar. Whether he’s breathing new life into Conan Doyle’s beloved detective or twisting timelines in Magpie Murders, Horowitz writes with a sleight of hand that keeps readers constantly guessing—and always a step behind. His novels don’t simply offer whodunits; they explore the act of storytelling itself, often blurring the line between author and character, fiction and reality.
The Power of Five
The Power of Five was retitled in the United States as The Gatekeepers.
The Power of Five consists of five books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
This book surprises. Somehow Mr. Horowitz has turned an ordinary fantasy story to something more. It makes you want more, and keeps you interested until the last page. Scarlett's story is a bit scary and exciting at the same time. Raven's gate was very good, Evil Star wasn't as good as it, Nightrise could have been better, but this one was great work. Very nice book, easy to read, makes you smile and send shivers down your spine. Can you ask much more? ^^
