Synopsis

The Program has sent Boy Nobody on countless missions, instructed to kill whichever target he was given. But now, after going rogue, he is on his own mission to rescue his friend Howard, who was captured by The Program.

Boy Nobody manages to free Howard as well as Tanya, a mysterious girl who was being held with him. Putting their skills to the test, Howard and Tanya help Boy Nobody collect information about his father, eventually revealing a dangerous secret that teaches Boy Nobody a valuable lesson -- he can't trust anyone.

On the run from The Program, Boy Nobody must face his past, as he's forced to decide where his loyalties lie.

Review:

Praise for I Am the Weapon:
A 2014 Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers
* "Zadoff shines in this violent, entertaining twist on the teen spy novel. [I Am the Weapon is] a tense and exciting story with a strong cast...blunt and hard edged narration and twists will keep readers riveted."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

* "[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 (starred review)

"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
