ANTHONY HOROWITZ is one of the most prolific writers in the UK today. For a long time, he was best known as the saviour of teenage boys' reading on account of his 13 million-selling ALEX RIDER sequence. He joins Clare to discuss his latest book OBLIVION - the chilling conclusion to his epic supernatural series THE POWER OF FIVE, which has a broad readership ranging from young fans to adult.
