The people behind The Program needed the perfect assassin: one who could operate efficiently in any given situation, without fear or anger, and without sympathy for the victim – a ruthless killer who could complete the mission and walk away unnoticed and emotionally unscathed. So they created one. The thing is, he’s just a kid.
Boy Nobody is the typical new kid in class, an insignificant teenager who shows up as a transfer from another high school in another town, makes very few friends and doesn’t stay long before leaving unexpectedly. What he leaves behind is always the same: a bereaved family that has lost a loved one due to “natural causes”. Mission accomplished.
But when Boy Nobody is assigned to target the mayor of New York City, things change. The mayor’s beautiful teenage daughter likes him. The mayor, himself, reminds him of his own, long-departed father and responds favourably to the blossoming relationship between the two teens. As buried memories and new questions begin to surface in Boy Nobody’s mind, a desire to return to being the kid he once was – a normal teenager with a home and real parents – is planted and begins to grow. And all the time The Program is watching. As far as they are concerned, nothing can be allowed to jeopardize the mission.
Boy Nobody is out now... click above to see the trailer... and get in quick with the kudos that you read the book (a film is inevitable - in fact Boy Nobody has already attracted strong interest from Sony Pictures who are looking at a producing a movie adaptation starring Will Smith’s son, Jaden, in what they hope will become a franchise series for the young star).
