Quick Summary
If you're into action-packed spy thrillers with a lot of heart, this one's a solid pick. The third book in the "Program" series follows Boy Nobody as he goes up against the shadowy organization that trained him and other orphaned kids to be assassins, trying to save his friend Howard before it's too late. What really sets this apart is the way it balances intense action sequences with the emotional weight of loyalty, identity, and chosen family who hasn't been told what to do by adults who claim to have their best interests at heart, right? Readers who enjoy the Alex Rider series or the Maze Runner will probably eat this up, and while the violence and some language mean it's best suited for older middle schoolers and high schoolers, the story never feels gratuitous. There's a real moral complexity here that makes you think about what people are capable of when they feel backed into a corner. Fans of the earlier books will appreciate how the threads come together, though new readers can jump in and still follow along pretty easily.
