Welcome to All Peoples, Places, and Things

Hello, I'm back and I am reading the book Scopia. If you want to find out about my book then you've come to the right place. If you're chillin' that's OK too. While you're here you can feed my piranha-, I mean fish, or you can answer one of my many polls. If you're here to learn that is also OK. If you don't like LED ZEPPELIN that is not OK. So enjoy, my good peoples, places and things.

After reading my blog posts, would you consider reading this book?

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.

    What really strikes me about Scorpia is how different it is from the previous books- slower, sadder, deeper, more introverted. Alex is no longer a child playing real-life laser tag, but a man, very much alone and desperately searching for a way out. The real action in this book for me is inside Alex's head, the trauma and psychological torture he endures, what with the changing sides and the sordid secrets and all. Maybe it's just me, though... what do you think?
