Alex Rider, drawn by Yassen's last words, travels to Venice with his friend Tom. Hoping to find the organization called Scorpia. -To give you an idea about the book: Scorpia stands for Sabotage Corruption Intelligence Assassination-. Alex gets involved in Scorpia, he tries to figure out the lesser of two evils, MI6 or Scorpia. He chooses the path of his father. But there are things that Scorpia isn't telling him. (Does this not sound like another organization???)
Alex throws out a few minor swearwords as do other characters. A man is killed by scorpions. People are trying to kill Alex. It just wouldn't be an Alex Ride book if they weren't. Mrs. Rothman plans to kill thousands of people. People are mowed down before Alex's eyes.
This book tones down the plain macabre action. Scorpia isn't a joy ride, quite the opposite. More of the agony is left in Alex instead of the blood of people.
Interested in learning more about Alex. This is the book you have been waiting for. It is about Alex. Not to say that action is lacking. Ha, no. If you are prone to tears, I would really recommend some tissues. In fact, a box.
