The Recruit

Adventure Fiction Spy Fiction Coming of Age Thriller

Description

Meet James, a brilliant but troubled teenager who finds himself recruited into CHERUB—a covert organization that trains elite agents under seventeen to carry out dangerous intelligence missions that adults could never accomplish. With no gadgets, no weapons, and no official existence, CHERUB operatives infiltrate terrorist networks, hack critical systems, and gather intelligence on global threats by exploiting the one advantage adults never expect: that children could be spying on them. But before James can deploy into the field, he must survive one hundred grueling days of basic training—a brutal gauntlet designed to break even the most resilient recruits. In this high-stakes thriller, a desperate teenager discovers that his only way forward is through an impossible ordeal that will test his intelligence, his courage, and his will to survive. Robert Muchamore launches readers into a world of espionage, danger, and moral complexity where childhood ends and the real mission begins.
