About the Books The Alex Neptune series begins with Dragon Thief , in which Alex, convinced the ocean has always been trying to kill him, is dragged into a daring heist to free an imprisoned water dragon from an abandoned aquarium, aided by his tech-genius friend Zoey, legend-loving Anil, and a motley crew of sea creatures. In Pirate Hunter , Alex is still mastering his new powers when Haven Bay comes under attack from pirates sailing a ship built from rubbish, hunting for the missing egg of the elusive water dragon. Monster Avenger raises the stakes further as a mysterious parasite infects sea creatures — including Alex's dragon friend — forcing Alex and his team to brave electric eels, furious crabs and raging storms, even venturing inside the dragon itself to save it. The series concludes with Zombie Fighter , in which a ghostly fog unleashes crab-riding zombies commanded by a vengeful pirate spirit, sending Alex, Zoey and Anil into three perilous bottle-trapped worlds to recover the only weapon that can stop them. Across all four books, David Owen combines fast pacing, inventive world-building and real emotional heart, making this a stand-out introduction to fantasy adventure for readers who love friendship, humour and high-stakes heroics.
