Scorpia Rising - Kepler's Staff Review

Alex, I wanted you to walk away and live a normal life. But MI6 made it impossible for you to say no - again. This time it all started with the extraordinary Elgin Marbles, which are housed in the British Museum.  The British Government have consistently refused to give them back to the Greeks.  But Scorpia has a plan to force the British Government's hand and, of course, it involved you, Alex. Getting you undercover again, this time in Egypt. And Alan Blunt fell for the whole scheme.

This time everyone on your team was working in the dark. The plot was as clever as ever, with some great new characters, the  reemergence of an old enemy, an extraordinary reveal with one character (you really can't see it coming!), and the tragic loss of another.

I won't give it away, but ah, this adventure is just as adrenaline-soaked, just as fast-paced as your previous escapades, but darker, edgier, sadder. It is a book you'll  read in one sitting, a wonderful ending to a great series, but Alex, I shall miss you. --Angela M.
