4.0 out of 5 starsAwkward Bromance is Best Romance
By Ash Wednesday Lee on June 19, 2014
Format: Audible Audio Edition
[QUOTE]”Everyone in the world is a follower. They follow an agenda, whether it’s set by school, parents, a job, society. The only question is who or what they choose to follow. Most people don’t even realise there’s a choice to make, so they end up stumbling blindly through their lives, wondering why they’re so unhappy when they’re doing everything right.”[/QUOTE]

I can’t help but wonder if Allan Zadoff was a little frustrated that the title [I Am Number Four - because this would work brilliantly with I Am Number Five I think (hide spoiler)] has been taken and if it’s part of the reason behind the changes. From The Lost Mission to I Am the Mission, the second instalment in The Unknown Assassin series encourages paranoia, a little bit of nail-biting and hair-tearing and maybe one episode of explosive cussing on my part.

Set shortly after the events of I Am The Weapon, the assassin now known as Daniel is deployed by the program to complete the lost mission: kill Eugene Moore. Moore is a former US military officer currently leading The Liberty Camp, an extremist military training camp for the youth within the New Hampshire mountains. He has been targeted before by The Program and lost the operative in the process. It is up to Daniel to complete the task with one specific condition set by his superiors: he cannot enter the camp.

Through unforeseen circumstances, he of course enters the camp where he meets Moore and his family and gain an understanding of the philosophy he’s fighting for. What he discovers leads him to question the mission and, more importantly, his allegiances.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsBoy Nobody is Back!
By Lisa Tobleman on August 25, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Book two in the teen assassin story about a boy with no name who works for the “Program” is back as Nobody faces his most difficult mission yet. It took me a while to read this, not because the book was bad, in fact the opposite is true, but because my dog ate my first copy of this one and it took almost three weeks to get a new copy from the publisher! (Amazon was backordered and my local bookseller ran out) But as soon as I got my hands on my new copy I say down and read it in one evening.

Boy Nobody is back almost exactly where we left off the last story. He is still questioning his training, and his handlers, but when a new assignment comes in he gladly takes it. Mother and Father are back, as are some of our favorite secondary characters from book one. Just like in the first story, Nobody has to get close and kill his target, a super right wing Tim McVey kind of cult leader who is training children to be soldiers. We are again faced with discussions about why people do bad things in the name of patriotism, and Nobody’s voice wavers from machine to teen as we the reader are drafted with him.

Now some folks are Going to be pissed off by Mr. Zadoff’s political discussions and portrayal of a right wing survivalist camp. But this is a series about a covert government group that trains children to be assassins…so if political discussions upset you Don't read this book. This was far more political than his first story, more Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan than Ian Fleming’s James Bond, but I still enjoyed it and thought it was a fun if violent story. You probably should read book one before book two. Either way, if you are looking for a crazy romp though a dark gritty world then look no further.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA more human and vulnerable side of Boy Nobody
By Inspiring Insomnia on June 20, 2014
Format: Hardcover
3.5 stars.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, I Am the Weapon, although I read it under its previous title, Boy Nobody. In this story, the assassin, Boy Nobody, is sent on a new mission, using the name, Daniel. My main problem with the story is that this felt so similar to the previous book - he is to assassinate a powerful man, but allows himself to get too close to the target's child(ren), a major violation of his training. It also seemed that in this book, much emphasis was placed on having characters tell Boy Nobody how fantastic his skills are. I don't remember this from the first book; it seemed we were shown these kills, and it wasn't necessary for other characters to hammer the point home by talking about it.

What I did love was how we get to see a more human, vulnerable side to Boy Nobody, and this side is revealed in a very interesting way. As for the ending - Allen Zadoff already proved he has a way with endings - and this one is exciting and intense, if not more than a little far-fetched. It plays out like a Tom Cruise scene from one of his many action films.

Despite a couple of reservations, I Am the Mission is a very good thriller, and a few last minute surprises at the end make me think that third book will be eve better.

Note: I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 starsawesome follow up
By juxta_posed on August 9, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I loved this story from the get go, something about the way it is written sucked me in. It picks up nicely from the first book and you can see how the main character is still struggling with everything that happened but is also trying to move on. The plot moves fast in this one, and i think our hero gets left in the dark more that he should with all of his training. the ending was pretty sad, just like in the first book, so i am curious to see what happens next, but if it ends up the same way a third time...
