Entry 6: SCORPIA By Anthony Horowitz
Alex Rider is back and this time he wants revenge!!
The last words of Yassen Gregorovich, an assassin Alex meets in many stories, are to find Scorpia.
When his class goes to Venice on a school trip, Alex goes to a party, were he understands that a woman called Julia Rothman is in charge of Scorpia. But when he listens to a very important conversation, he gets caught by a strong man called Nile and he nearly drowns Alex.
Obviously he escapes!
Days later, Julia invites him to have lunch with her and she tells him that his father was working for Scorpia and was a feared assassin. Julia tells him, that she admired and loved his father.
Alex decides to work with them, because Ms. Rothman tells him that MI6 (the association for which Alex worked in other adventures) killed John Rider (Alex' father).
