He was the perfect assassin. No name. No past. No remorse. Perfect, that is, until he began to ask questions and challenge his orders. Now The Program is worried that their valuable soldier has become a liability. And so Boy Nobody is given a new mission. A test of sorts. A chance to prove his loyalty. His objective: Take out Eugene Moore, the owner of an extremist military He was the perfect assassin. His objective: Take out Eugene Moore, the owner of an extremist military training camp for teenagers.
It sounds like a simple task, but a previous operative couldn't do it. He lost the mission and is presumed dead. Now Boy Nobody is confident he can finish the job. But when things go awry, Boy Nobody finds himself lost in a mission where nothing is as it seems: not The Program, his allegiances, nor the truth. The riveting second book in Allen Zadoff's Boy Nobody series delivers heart-pounding action and a shocking new twist that makes Boy Nobody question everything he has believed.

Okay, so, I'm extremely mad at myself. Excellent story, wonderful flawed boy to obsess over, fast-paced and intricate story-line so there was no way I could lose my interest easily-and yet, here I am, the next day after finishing, wishing I would have waited to read IATM until this weekend.
I was tired. I was dreary. I am beside myself with how dumb this decision was. I wasted a wonderful, amazing book because I couldn't keep my damn fangirling in check, and a wonderful book lost half a star because of that. Not in my head. Someplace else, someplace deeper. Closer to my heart. This story was completely different than the first. For one, our dear, er, hmm, can I say his real name without it being a spoiler?
Ummm okay, I'll just use his 'op' name for this mission-Daniel, our dear Daniel has faced an emotional trauma from his last mission he isn't likely to recover from. His heart is broken, but he knows what his job entails and he knows he must move forward. But now, on top of all the maturity he has to wrangle at his age, he can finally 'feel'.
He isn't just an emotionless drone going from operation to operation-he is finally starting to question the morality and sanity of The Program. And with these doubts comes fear-what if he messes up again? Will it cost another life? And, most of all, when it comes right down to it, would he make the same decision again if he had to? I see this too-thin, too-tired boy who has been up most of the night, first on a mission and then on postmission planning, and I transform his energy into that of a boy who had trouble sleeping because he is nervous about the day to come.
A sixteen-year-old desperate to impress, yet confused about who he is and what he is here to achieve. In short, I make myself into Daniel Martin, the new recruit at camp. I really enjoyed seeing his struggle to make the right decisions and to know whether he was heading down the right path or not.
The thing is, it all became blurred. He had very little sleep, was trapped where he couldn't reach his 'Mother' or 'Father', and he was questioning every little thing set before him. But here's the kicker- At one point?? I'm pretty sure Daniel went off the deep end. He wasn't himself for a very long time in this story, and it was so sad and addicting, sue me to see him fraying at the edges, losing himself through doubt, determination, and a longing for someone to connect to.
But one thing was clear-he would not make the same mistakes from his last mission. His last mission took a piece of his soul, and we get to see first hand how it effects him every single day.
Poor widdle 'Daniel'. It's the other kind that's new to me. The emotional kind. One thing was for certain in this story: The bromance stole the show, right alongside the action. It tore my heart to pieces to see two lonely boys finally find what they always wanted: An awkward best-friendship lol.
I LOVE their friendship and it actually became my favorite part of the story -and if you know me at all, you know I don't give two shits about friends in stories. A lot of people would balk at that, me not caring about friends and only looking out for the romance, but eh, that's me! And for me to fall so hard for two best friends and almost tear up at the epicness that is their friendship? That's huge Think Jazz and, gasp, Howie, from I hunt killers and that whole series.
Before I can stop him, Howard rushes forward, squashing me in a bear hug. I say, "I've got to be honest. It makes me uncomfortable when you do that. Whether from my lack of sleep or time for this story, or from the lack of a romance I could get behind like in book one, something tiny was missing-Something that would make me go wooooooahhhhh, no way, like in book one.
But, again, I screwed up and read the meat of the story last night with my eyes half closed and floated through every page when it was supposed to be perilous sooooo I'm guessing my rating would have been 5 had I read this when I should have.
Anyway- Tortured, lonely, confused Daniel is someone I really fell hard for in this book. His humanity or lack thereof near the end was amazing to follow as we watched him decide just how far he'd go to prove his loyalty.

The only question is who or what they choose to follow. 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 in 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. What he discovers leads him to question the mission and, more importantly, his allegiances.
This was a little more political compared to the first instalment which cannot be helped seeing as the mission involves a radical idealist group. In truth, I enjoyed the chemistry between The Weapon and Francisco better, and with Howard the computer geek from book one, the best.
It means a lot to me. Awkward bromance is best romance. The resolution felt a little rushed, the ending an ellipsis rather than an exclamation point. Review Copy Courtesy of the publishers.

I Am The Mission is, if possible, even more exciting than its predecessor. There is no end to secrets and betrayals in this book and our Boy Nobody, highly trained but still merely a year-old, has to face them all and somehow manage to stay alive.
The leader recruits teenagers from all over the country and trains them to become domestic terrorists. With no one but a year-old hacker to rely on, he has to fight enemies on all sides, test his boundaries and prove his loyalty over and over again and still somehow come out on top. But Zach is more than up to the challenge. I love this about him — he is loyal to a fault, but he still applies common sense and thinks about everything he does.
Sam is long gone in this book, but there is Miranda now, another girl Zach wants to trust despite all evidence to the contrary. This book ends with a rather painful cliffhanger, which makes me glad I waited until now to read it.
Jun 15, Carole Carole's Random Life rated it really liked it Shelves: ya , reviewed , net-galley , This review can also be found on Carole's Random Life. I received an advance reader edition of this book from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers via Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review. You may be wondering how any sane person could be afraid to read a book but I really was and my sanity is often questionable.
I was afraid of this book because I have been let down by follow u This review can also be found on Carole's Random Life. I was afraid of this book because I have been let down by follow up books in several other series and I did not want this wonderful character to be tainted in my mind.
This book turns out to be a great follow up to I Am the Weapon, although not quite as good. The main character goes by Daniel in this book and The Program is no longer sure if they should trust him after the events in the first book. After proving himself, he is sent on a mission. Things do not go as plan and Daniel finds himself spending time at a military style camp for teens led by Eugene Moore.
Daniel must figure out what to do with no input from The Program despite his attempts to contact them. When Daniel becomes desperate for outside help, he turns to his friend Howard. It was wonderful to see Howard in this book as his character is so likeable and interesting. We also learn more about The Program and Daniel's past which I can't wait to watch Allen Zadoff build on in subsequent novels in this series.
There are so many things that I like about this book. I like that this is teen book that does not revolve around a romance even though there is a romantic element it is not the center of the book. I love that this is a smartly written teen book with lots of action that should appeal to a wide range of fans. Unfortunately, I did not think this book was quite as good as the first one largely because it took a while for the story to build in this book but before long I was completely pulled in and could not wait to see how things would unfold.
I would recommend this book to others but I would suggest that readers start with the first book if they are new to the series. I think that the background information about Daniel and the The Program from the first book makes this book much easier to follow and enjoy.
I definitely plan to continue to read works by Allen Zadoff including future books in this series. View 2 comments. Jun 28, Sasha Hibbs rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-reviewed-netgalley. I absolutely loved this book as much as the first one! Again, this is like the YA version of Bourne Identity. It's so savvy, and the author does an incredible job of knowing all things techy, political, etc. We get to know more about the main character, Daniel, in this book.
After his faith in The Program being shaken up and questioning his last mission, Daniel goes solo for a while but is soon picked back up by Father male leader of The Program and assigned a new mission a bit more challenging than the last.
I loved the way the author sets the stage for new soldiers alpha, beta, etc. This novel stirs up so many questions. Is The Program good? It's a nail-biting experience. When this ARC flashed in my email, I nearly broke my keyboard getting to it. And once I started, I couldn't stop. I highly recommend I Am the Mission to all lovers of YA thrillers, suspense, action packed goodness and just great fiction in general.
I cannot wait for the next in this series. Allen Zadoff is an author who has done his homework! May 13, April rated it it was amazing Shelves: young-adult , mystery , mc-with-special-talent-s , releases-wishlist , read-in I LOVE this series so freaking much!
So far each book has gotten better abd even more intriguing than the last, as we learn more about the Program and what Zach aka Daniel for this mission keeps learning about his famiky history and his role in the Program that up until recently he followed without a second thought to question mission assignments, etc. I'm on pins and needles as more details are revealed about the Program and who is behind it.
Boy Nobody, Zach, is given another assignment to take on. He continues to have a close relationship with Mike and Howard. The ending of the book was really unexpected. I am anticipating the next book in the series. I absolutely thank you, Mr.
Allen Zadoff. I hope the series will continue to have surprises! I definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a fast-paced, action-packed book or series, to read this series by Allen Zadoff—The Unknown Assassin.
