Scorpia by Anthony Horowitz, the fifth installment in the Alex Rider series, begins with Alex hunting for an organization named Scorpia for which his father had once worked. Alexx manages to find Julia Rothman, one of the organization's leaders, and is shown footage of his father being shot in a London bridge in a double cross at a prisoner exchange. In anger, Alex begins training to work with Scorpia, but his first assignment is to kill Mrs. Jones. Meanwhile Scorpia is planning to murder thousands of British school children in an operation known as Invisible Sword. Once Alex realizes the truth about Scorpia he agrees to help knowing that this time of he fails he will die along with all the other children.
Nice background into Alex's family mixed with plenty of action. This one was definitely a little more far fetched but still entertaining. 4 stars
