I’ve only been waiting a YEAR for the latest
installment in The Unknown Assassin series
by the wonderful writer Allen Zadoff.
So did it live up to my expectations?
Stay tuned.
At the end of his last mission, our protagonist—Boy
Nobody—kind of wigged out.
For the first time, he found himself questioning
The Program—the shadowy organization that
trained him as an invisible killer.
Now, in a test of loyalty, The Program sends
Boy Nobody—Daniel in this book—on his
most dangerous assignment yet.
He must take out Eugene Moore, the head of
an extremist military camp for youth.
Once again, though, nothing is as it seems,
and Daniel finds himself drawn deeper into
the camp—and its secrets—before he can
begin getting close to Moore.
As sequels go, I Am the Mission didn’t disappoint.
Granted, this book did require a tiny bit
more suspension of disbelief than the first.
And I do wish there’d been more subtext
to Daniel’s exploits in this story—something
that the first novel did so well.
That said, fans of fast-paced thrillers will
gobble up this newest installment.
And then, like me, they’ll find themselves
waiting hungrily, once again, for the next.
