Scorpia Rising - The Final Mission

An Alex Rider Adventure

By: Anthony Horowitz

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

Scorpia has dogged Alex Rider for most of his life. They killed his parents, they did their best to con Alex into turning traitor, and they just keep coming back with more power. Now the world's most dangerous terrorist organization is playing with fire in the world's most combustible land: the Middle East. No one knows Scorpia like Alex. And no one knows how best to get to Alex like Scorpia. Until now, the chases have never been more intense, the fights more treacherous, or the risks so perilous to mankind. And this time, Alex won't get away.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes defiantly.

Any additional comments?

Nope.

It's a challenge

It take awhile to get to the interesting part of the book. After you're there, the hours fly by.

Not as good as the earlier ones.

This book manages to be unrealistic and too realistic at the same time. The plot of the entire series is obviously pretty cheesy, but it's still pretty good, but this book captures the side of life that is bleak and empty as Alex experiences unimaginable loss, which (I speculate) most people who read this genre of books don't want. In essence, the author does an excellent job of making the reader feel as empty and grieving as Alex.

good plot

lots of twists and hidden keys you notice as the story line go on. one of the best alex rider books so far.

fantastic!

The Alex Rider books are strange because they all have approximately the plot "Alex gets forced into doing something, saves world, says he'll never do it again the end" but still manage to surprise you EVERY TIME! its incredible! I rated performance 4-5 for a few reasons but the main thing is the American accents! they're absolutely horrible! we don't talk like that! anyway great book definitely one worth reading/listening to.
