About this eBook

He was the perfect assassin.
Boy Nobody: No name. No past. No remorse. At least until he began to ask questions and challenge his orders -- until he fell in love with his target. Now The Program is worried that its valuable soldier has become a liability.
Boy Nobody, haunted by the outcome of his last assignment, is given a new mission. A test of sorts. A chance to show his loyalty.
His objective: Take out Eugene Moore, the owner of a military training and indoctrination camp for teenagers. One target. Limited time frame. Public place. It sounds simple, but a previous operative couldn't do it. He lost the mission and is presumed dead. Boy Nobody is confident he can finish the job. Quickly.
But when things go awry, Boy Nobody finds himself lost in a mission where nothing is as it seems: not The Program, his allegiances, or the truth.

The riveting second book in The Unknown Assassin series by Allen Zadoff delivers heart-pounding action and thought-provoking characters, as well as a new, exotic setting; a new mission; and new secrets to be revealed.

Ratings and reviews

I received an e-copy of this story for an honest review. An intriguing idea: using teens as soldiers. Because, let’s admit it, sometimes adults don’t always pay attention to teens. But it brings a few questions to mind. Is The Program part of the Government? Does the Government acknowledge it? Is it an unofficial program, or does it have nothing to do with the Government, and is funded and operated by someone else? Then it brings a few other personal questions to the surface: How do they find these teens? Is it some sort of Big Brother operation? Who can you Truly trust? How well do you Really know someone?

This made me stick with the books the talk about the last book made sheed tears....

It was way cooler then Alex Rider
