Chapter 15: Remote Control

Throughout this chapter the people at the meeting of cobra are trying to figure out what Invisible Sword is and how or if they can stop it. Through the bickering and arguing Alex gives all the information he can about Scorpia. A scientist there was able to deduce that invisible sword was a microscopic capsules holding poison that were put into the bodies of the victims intravenously. The capsules would travel through the heart and eventually be disposed. Scorpia remote controlled the capsules to break open when they got to the heart and poisoning them. They got it into the soccer players because they had to get shots before they returned to their country from Algeria. The way they would get it into the school children is the same way. The school children have to get shots before school starts again. The only thing they have to do now is find the satellite dish that they're going to use and destroy it

Chapter 14: Cobra

In this chapter Alex is recaptured by the MI-6. He meets Alan Blunt and he asks Alex for all the information he can tell him about Scorpia. Alan then reveals to him Scorpia's plan. Alex had no idea of the operation. Alan and Alex are supposed to go to a COBRA meeting which is an emergency council of the cabinent members. The end of the chapter is when the meeting starts.

Chapter 13: Pizza Delivery

In this chapter, Alex is on his first Scorpia mission, which is to take down Mrs. Jones. He dresses up as a teenage pizza delivery and goes to the hotel that Mrs. Jones is staying at. She is expecting him so she puts guards in the lobby. Alex hides his pistol in a plastic bag in a liter bottle of coke. He gets past security in his disguise and gets into her room. He sees her raises his gun and fires. But she was more prepared than he thought because between them was bullet proof glass. An alarm goes off and security guards com into the room and take Alex.

Chapter 12: "Dear Mister Prime Minister..."

This is the chapter where things start to go wrong. Scorpia puts their operation, invisible sword, into place. They send a letter to the prime minister. The letter says that their client wants to change the balance of world power. The letter says that their client demands that America withdraw their troops from all countries, that they must deactivate the nuclear weapons systems, that 1 billion dollars be put into the World bank to be distributed to poor countries and that the president must resign immediately. The President must agree to the terms in three days or it is England that will pay the price. this is because England is "best friends" with America. The English are to persuade the President to do so. If they fail to do so, all English school children at 12:00 noon after the three days are up will die. The letter says that they will give a demonstration of their new weapon when the reserve soccer team arrives back from their tour this afternoon. The prime minister's adviser and Alan Blunt go to see if Scorpia follows through with heir plan. They do and nobody knows what caused it. The soccer team just dropped dead.

Chapter 11: The Bell Tower

At the beginning of this chapter Alex is in the doctors office at the school. He is given a series of tests and check-ups. He also gets a shot for no apparent reason. The doctors doesn't even say what the shot is. It's pretty suspicious to me. After his check-up, Alex goes to the shooting range and instead of the regular targets the teacher set up life sized pictures of people. That day was the worst score Alex ever got at the shooting range. Mrs. Rothmann wants to change that problem. So she gave him a target that he couldn't refuse to kill. Mrs. Jones, the woman who killed his father. I personally think that somehow she doesn't get killed because there are more Alex Rider books, and whats an Alex Rider book without Mrs. Jones?

Chapter 10: How to Kill

In this chapter Alex goes to the school that will teach him to be a Scorpian agent. He meets all the professors and the few students that are there with him. The students are about his own age. At the end of the chapter Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones, the heads of MI-6, find out about Alex and want him brought in.

Chapter 9: Albert Bridge

In this chapter Mrs. Rothman tells Alex about his father. She shows him a video that they caught on tape. What happened was that Scorpia had capture an important figure in Britain but MI-6 had also captured Alex's father. They planned to exchange the prisoners on Albert Bridge. On one side of the bridge is MI-6, the other is Scorpia. As the two captives meet in the middle of the bridge, Alex's father says something to the other man. The man starts running to the other end. As Alex's father reaches his side a sniper shoots him dead. There is fighting but eventually it ends. The order to kill Alex's father was made by Mrs. Jones, one of the heads of operations in MI-6. She sent Alex on all his previous missions. Mrs. Rothman asks Alex if he'll join Scorpia and he accepts.
