They needed the perfect assassin.

Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school in a new town under a new name, makes a few friends, and doesn’t stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend’s family to die of “natural causes”. Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, moving on to the next target.

But when he’s assigned to the mayor of New York City, things change. The daughter is unlike anyone he has encountered before; the mayor reminds him of his father. And when memories and questions surface, his handlers at The Program are watching. Because somewhere deep inside, Boy Nobody is somebody: the kid he once was; the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and parents; a young man who wants out. And who just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program’s mission.

In this action-packed series debut, author Allen Zadoff pens a page-turning thriller that is as thought-provoking as it is gripping, introducing an utterly original and unforgettable antihero.

I Am the Mission
The Unknown Assassin, Book 2
Length: 9 hrs and 30 mins

He was the perfect sold 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.

Critic Reviews
“When James Bond was a little boy, he wanted to grow up to be half as hard-core as Boy Nobody.” (Barry Lyga, author of I Hunt Killers)
“[Boy Nobody] is like a darker version of Alex Rider, [and] Thomas in James Dashner’s Maze Runner series…. Fans of such fast-paced action novels should love this first installment in the [Unknown Assassin] series.” (VOYA)
