Scorpia by Anthony Horowitz


Scorpia, by Anthony Horowitz, is a book of action and betrayal. It is the 5th book in the Alex Rider series and it is a great one. When Alex goes to Venice with his friend Tom, Tom does not know that Alex is there partly because of his secret life. When Yassen said that Scorpia, an international criminal organization, knew his long lost father, Alex had tracked them down into Venice. It was not long before Scorpia got a hold of Alex and made him turn on MI6. Will Alex work with Scorpia and become an assassin, like his father? Or will he work against Scorpia? It soon becomes a mess when Scorpia reveals its next plan that endangers thousands of school kids. “I want to join Scorpia,” He said.” Will Alex be able to save the children? Or will Scorpia prove too powerful once again?

This book is a must-read. It is a great book for people that like action/spy novels. It is a great page turner and will make you want to read the next book in this series, Archangel.
