- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I AM THE TRAITOR by Allen Madoff is the third book in a trilogy and I feel it is a suitable finale to end it. While the first two books were slam-bang action tales, this is more of a maturing look at Boy Nobody. The acton is here, the heroics, the life-threatening situations, but there is an added element of humor and more intimate relationships for our young assassin,The Program tried to remove the humanity from its “soldiers”, making them perfect little killing machines, but in reality, the entire cadre of killers are nothing more than highly trained, yet lost, murderers. When Boy Nobody finds his growing list of questions, especially the one about the reality of his parents “deaths”, coming into the realm of maybe getting some answers finally, he is torn between loyalty and the need to know.He has a growing friendship with a kid from a past mission, and a possible love relationship with a young woman who puzzles him on so many levels. To see Boy finally coming to grips with his feelings and his past sets up a nice ending. When he finally faces The Program head on, he, and you, will receive shocks and stunning revelations.In short this is a great ending for this tale of tragedy, death, betrayal, love and friendship. And keep in mind, Boy Nobody does not make it out unscathed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this third installment, Zach/Daniel/Ben has to move on from Camp Liberty and Miranda & Lee. Will he be able to rejoin The Program? Has he gone too far in questioning his orders? Can he trust Tanya? Will he be able to find Howard and get information about his real father? In another fast action, page turning installment, he faces many twists, turns, and dangers. Excellent third installments, read it in less than a day.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"We are soldiers," Mike says. "Never forget what that means."I really enjoyed the first book of this series (not as a big of a fan of the second though) so I was really eager to see how this series would end. It has been a little while since I've read the second book but from the beginning of this one I had no trouble remembering what had happened and who each character was.Zach is back and now he must rescue Howard from The Program. There is a small complication when he discovers Howard is being held with a girl named Tanya and he is unsure as to whether or not she is trustworthy. Zach must also deal with whether or not he will trust and continue to work with The Program.Throughout this series I have felt that at times Zach has been far too trusting of people and this book is no exception to that. For someone who is supposed to be a trained assassin he can be pretty trusting and naive. Then again he is just a teenager.I really loved the first 3/4ths of this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I had no idea what would happen next. The last fourth of the book had me disappointed. It did not live up to my expectations. Quite honestly I was expecting it to blow my mind or at least be something that I couldn't guess easily on my own. The series is leading us to this moment and if you try hard enough you'll figure it out without trying all that hard.Despite my feelings towards the ending I did enjoy this book. Other fans of this series might love that ending so I would recommend reading this if you've enjoyed the previous books. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the galley.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is Book Three of the series that began with I Am the Weapon and continued with I Am the Mission. If you have been following the series, you can figure out what this book will be about from the title. But you can’t guess how it play out, because it can’t be very easy for an individual either to defy or evade The Program, a shady black-ops type organization to which Zach, 16, is pledged.In the previous books, Zach actually made a friend (something he is not allowed to do) of a computer whiz, Howard, who Zach enlisted to help him find out what really happened to his father. As Book Three begins, Howard has been taken captive by The Program; they not only want to learn just what Howard knows, but they also figure they can draw back the renegade Zach who presumably will want to rescue his friend. Of course Zach finds where Howard is, and is surprised to discover that another teen, Tanya, is also in captivity with Howard. Zach decides to rescue them both. But battling The Program is obviously not going to be easy. After some hair-raising encounters, Zach finally gets some answers, only they are not the ones for which he was hoping. Discussion: The author does a good job in this book both in making scenarios more believable, and in figuring out how to resolve the seemingly unbeatable odds of an entire lethal organization of assassins up against one boy without coming off as absurd. My only quibble is with the romance: there didn’t seem to be any justification for it or even any lead-up to it. Suddenly it was just there. But otherwise, this book shows more writing skill, in my opinion, than the previous books.Presumably this series was a trilogy and this story ended it, but it could easily be extended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Zach finds where Howard is being kept, he uses his skills to rescue him, but discovers that Howard is being held with a girl named Tanya. Howard won't leave without her, so the three of them go on the run. As the three of them delve more deeply into The Program, Zach uncovers more questions than answers.
In I Am the Traitor, Zach faces difficult choices based on information that may or may not be correct, making him examine everything he has done and what he has been told. The most difficult choice he faces is what kind of person he wants to be and ultimately that is what drives most of this final entry in the Unknown Assassin series. The big twist near the end of the book is somewhat predictable based on the foreshadowing throughout the rest of the series, but the final resolution of the story was a bit more unexpected. Overall, this is a very good ending for a spy adventure that is a cut above others of this type. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
