I received an e-copy of this story for an honest review.
An intriguing idea: using teens as soldiers. Because, let’s admit it, sometimes adults don’t always pay attention to teens. But it brings a few questions to mind. Is The Program part of the Government? Does the Government acknowledge it? Is it an unofficial program, or does it have nothing to do with the Government, and is funded and operated by someone else? Then it brings a few other personal questions to the surface: How do they find these teens? Is it some sort of Big Brother operation? Who can you Truly trust? How well do you Really know someone? ( )

Zach continues to have doubts and questions about The Program. To get away from these doubts, he escapes the wait for his next mission by signing on to be a counselor in training at a summer sports camp. When The Program discovers his location, Father is sent to retrieve him and find out where his loyalties lie. After a grueling physical exam, Zach and Father embark on a mission in which Zach is to kill the man who is running a survival camp during a recruitment seminar, but when the man is attacked by one of his own followers, Zach saves his life and is immediately taken to the camp. Once there, Zach realizes that their agenda involves much more than training recruits, but when Zach can't reach Father, he knows that he has either been labeled a traitor by his organization or The Program has been attacked and needs help. Unfortunately, he is afraid it is the former.

I Am the Mission continues the story of Zach, the teenage assassin, but the twist in this story is that Zach is beginning to feel too much for his targets, raising questions about trusting big government and blindly following rules. These questions are amplified by the people at Camp Liberty who are questioning the same things that Zach is. Overall, this is another good entry in this series, which asks bigger questions than the average teen spy series. ( )

Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

My biggest critique of this series so far is that the names keep changing making the books hard to find and review! I really enjoyed the pacing and the story of the first book. The second one was good but didn't hold the thrill the first one did in my opinion. It's clear Boy Nobody is struggling and I hope that he gets some sort of relief soon before everything implodes in his face. ( )

The second book adds additional layers of intrigue and danger. A fun, exciting page-turner. ( )

Wow! I can see this going somewhere. The world development and conflict was extremely well done, and I really liked the characters.
