From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Teen assassin Boy Nobody has to prove to The Program that he isn't a liability. His mission in a brand-new location goes awry and secrets are revealed that put him at the edge of his allegiances and the truth.
From Booklist Boy Nobody, the 16-year-old trained assassin, finds himself entrusted with a new mission by The Program; he is to infiltrate Camp Liberty, a paramilitary camp that trains teenagers in the techniques of domestic terrorism, and eliminate its founder and director. But things quickly go wrong, and he finds himself in jeopardy, cut off from The Program and forced to examine his most deeply held convictions. In this follow-up to Boy Nobody (2013), Zadoff has crafted another highly suspenseful, compulsively readable futuristic thriller with an agreeably intricate plot and a sympathetic—though often cold-blooded—protagonist. Readers will be clamoring for the next volume. Grades 9-12. --Michael Cart
Review "Zadoff packs in plenty of tension-filled moments that will leave readers on the edges of their seats...Just when readers think they've made it through one breathless climax, Zadoff adds another twist that tacks on more...Hollywood-esque thrills...A more dangerous Alex Rider for the older set."―Kirkus Reviews"In this follow-up to Boy Nobody (2013), Zadoff has crafted another highly suspenseful, compulsively readable futuristic thriller with an agreeably intricate plot and a sympathetic-though often coldblooded-protagonist. Readers will be clamoring for the next volume."―Booklist"With a high body count, interesting plot twists, technology tie-ins, and nonstop action, this thriller should appeal to teenage boys."―VOYA

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.More than the adrenaline-pumped thrill, the more mature themes of loyalty, family, patriotism and all that which makes us human delivered in the stark, droning monotone of our narrator, what I liked most in this book is that there’s a clear direction as to where Zadoff wants to take Boy Nobody’s story. When I realised this was going to be a series, I was a bit concerned that it will take the “Villain of the Week” course where it will take endless filler books before we get to the essential questions: What is the Program? And what happened to the assassin’s father? In terms of the bigger story arc, this didn’t disappoint in the mileage it covered.This was a little more political compared to the first instalment which cannot be helped seeing as the mission involves a radical idealist group. I didn’t mind it much, though I would’ve liked a bit more development in Moore’s character. I kept feeling this aims to make him out like Ed Harris’ character in The Rock, and I kept waiting to find that complex charismatic zealotry, that misdirected patriotism borne out of frustration from the system that would make me believe intelligent and rational people will leave the comforts of their lives to willingly follow his radical ideologies. It takes a certain kind of character to make that happen in a particular climate of discontent and disappointment, Eugene Moore was a half-baked version of it and I’m not sure the circumstances was built believably enough to pull it off.One of the issues I had with I Am The Weapon was in it’s heroine, Samara. She was still a background presence in this one, a pervading regret and sadness in The Weapon’s thoughts. But a new femme fatale comes in to the picture, Moore’s daughter Miranda. I quite liked the potential in Miranda’s character but I grew to become more and more disappointed in how it became apparent that she’s just there for the hero to kiss and so that “breasts” can be factored in atleast one scene. So that we won’t forget that The Weapon is an attractive, virile young man, because James Bond made up all these rules and now we’re stuck with it. In truth, I enjoyed the chemistry between The Weapon and Francisco better, and with Howard the computer geek from book one, the best. But any of the Howard-archetypes in these kinds of stories always come out the fan-favorite so that’s hardly a surprise.[QUOTE]”You risked everything coming up here.”“I know,” he said softly.It means a lot to me.”Before I can stop him, Howard rushes forward, squashing me in a bear hug.[/QUOTE]Awkward bromance is best romance.The build up was a little sluggish and I found my mind wandering in the early half, a bit bored by the robotic storytelling which didn’t bother me in the first book but starts to feel tiresome the second time around. But in the end this managed to use that to the story’s advantage, providing the necessary contrast in the twists that it chose to take. The resolution felt a little rushed, the ending an ellipsis rather than an exclamation point. But the shift from relying heavily on the “novelty” of a young assassin to one that focuses on the conflicts the concept of a human perfect soldier entails was much much more interesting. Not much of a departure from this series’ attempts in putting a YA spin to the Jason Bourne archetype true, but in terms of fun and adventure, Zadoff pulls it off with enough street-cred for me to set a side the book I’ve been waiting for all year just so I can finish this and finally take that exhale I've been delaying from page one.Review Copy Courtesy of the publishers.

A more human and vulnerable side of Boy Nobody By Inspiring Insomnia 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.

It is a beautiful example of what happens when an author capitalizes on the spark of a strong series start in order to build a legitimate on-fire series.In book two, Zadoff allows readers to revisit Boy Nobody with an added dose of complexity in both his character and his plot. This time around, readers benefit from a more thorough look into Boy Nobody’s head. And his mission is amped up a notch or two in intensity and unpredictability.Thematically, there is still an exploration of topics like loyalty and trust, as well as individual choice versus determinism (or in Boy Nobody’s case, programming). While Boy Nobody was definitely an anti-hero in I Am The Weapon, in I Am The Mission he emerges as someone readers will accept and embrace as heroic.In addition to a more richly drawn character study of our hero, the new batch of secondary characters is more compelling, and there’s a welcome reappearance of a character from book one. Once again, the storyline will keep you on your toes, taking several twists and turns, one or two of which may elicit a gasp from readers. As questions from the first installment are answered, more are raised, and the series strengthens its grip on the reader.While I didn’t turn the pages of this sequel as rapidly as its predecessor, I didn’t enjoy it any less. The increased character development allowed a more meaningful emotional connection, and as a result, I found that I actually liked it better!Verdict: 5 of 5 hearts. Highly Recommended!This thrilling sequel will convince readers that series opener I Am The Weapon was no accident. I Am The Mission proves that readers who board The Unknown Assassin train are in for a heart-stopping ride!
