This book is almost 5 stars, I must admit I loved it, and it came close to being better than Fledgling Jason Steed, but not quite. I think its better than Robert Muchamores Cherubs series. You learn so much about history that makes it brilliant. The story brings 2 charactes togther over the course of the book. So why only 4 stars and not 5? Well Robert Muchamore did the same thing he did with Cherub, the same thing that Horowitz did with Alex Rider, The same thing they did with Young James Bond, Tom sawyer, Oliver Twist. They made all the children characters Orphans. It started in an Orphanage so I was thinkg, "here we gao another orphan" Then another two kids had a dad, but the mother was already dead, a few more page and now there dad was dead so now they are also Orphans. Why are most of the young adult books written about orphans, its pathetic. Can't tehy write a story without an orphan? Any back to the book, its a really good read.
GREAT AGAIN

I have read all of Robert Muchamores CHERUB books which i recommend all teens to read. And this book is just as great as them. It is completely different than CHERUB but just as good and catching. Great!!

Robert Muchamore's books are great adventure tales. I have enjoyed all of the Cherub series and now enjoyed the first in this new series which tells the story of the beginnings of the Cherub spy group of kids. I am looking forward to the next title in this series and also in the Cherub series. I will purchase them from Europe even though it is more expensive because I cannot wait!!
