Scorpion is a spy thriller novel by Andrew Kaplan , published by Macmillan Publishers Macmillan in hardcover in 1985 and as a Warner Books paperback in 1986. It hit best seller lists in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany and Greece. Plot summary As the President of Russia dies, his deputy, Fyedorenko makes a mysterious phone call. A beautiful young American woman, Kelly Ormont, is brutally abducted from the streets of Paris into white slavery. In a safe house in Pakistan, a senior CIA director, Bob Harris, recruits a free lance ex CIA agent, codenamed Scorpion to rescue Kelly, a Congressman s daughter, last seen on a flight to Bahrain. The Scorpion follows the trail to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, where he uncovers a plot to assassinate the King of Arabia, while flashbacks reveal the Scorpion s past as the orphaned son of an American oilman raised by a Bedouin desert tribe. At the King s Camel Race, the Scorpion manages to foil the assassination plot. He is captured, but manages to escape with Kelly and kill Prince Sa ad, author of the assassination plot. In Washington, the Scorpion confronts Harris who reveals the whole thing was a CIA and French SDECE plot to pre empt the Russians in the Gulf with Kelly in on it, thinking she was working for the Israelis. Fyedorenko is replaced by an accomplice because of the plot s failure as the Scorpion returns to his shadowy battles in Afghanistan.

His name may refer to the scorpion goddess Serket . He is believed to have lived in Thinis one or two centuries before the rule of the better known King Scorpion of Nekhen and is presumably the first true king of Upper Egypt. To him belongs the U j tomb found in the royal cemetery of Abydos, Egypt Abydos where Thinite kings were buried. That tomb was plundered in antiquity, but in it were found many small ivory plaques, each with a hole for tying it to something, and each marked with one or more hieroglyph type scratched images which are thought to be names of towns, perhaps to tie to offering s and tribute s to keep track of which came from which town. Two of those plaques seem to name the Delta towns Bubastis Baset and Buto , showing that Scorpion s armies had penetrated the Nile Delta.
