  2. THE RECRUIT

  3. NAME: James Adams BORN: Tufnell Park, London BIRTH NAME: James Choke APPEARANCE: Fair hair, blue eyes, stocky build FAMILY:Father - Unknown Mother - Died of heart failure, LondonSister - Lauren Adams, resident at CHERUB

  4. PHYSICAL: James is stocky, which makes him strong but also prone to weight gain. He must run regularly and watch his diet to keep in shape. • COMBAT: Has shown reasonable aptitude in karate and judo classes, although his reflexes are not the fastest and James often struggles against nimbler opponents. • ACADEMIC: James has an IQ of 153 and is brilliant at maths. However, he will not live up to his full potential until he learns to stop messing around in class. • LIKES: Arsenal, motorbikes, FIFA soccer games, tenpin bowling, winding up his little sister. • DISLIKES: Mayonnaise, curry, Tottenham Hotspur, Big Brother and soap operas.

  5. "James is basically a nice kid, but he tends to go off the rails if you don't keep a close eye on him."Meryl Spencer, handler. • "I love my brother, but he's dead moody and sometimes I just want to punch his lights out."Lauren Adams, sister. • "Sometimes you see James hanging around with his mates and you'd think he was just an ordinary teenager. You don't realize what he's really capable of until he's working under pressure on a mission."John Jones, mission controller.

  6. QUOTES • James’ Mum is so fat, they have to grease the bath tub or she gets stuck in it.’ Samantha Jennings ‘'I didn't expect you to dunk a kid’s head in a vat of baked beans. He’s apparently got a nasty burn on his nose.’Ewart Asker • ‘Point the chicken’s bum away from yourself when you stab it. The shock makes it empty its bowels quite violently.’Dr Terrence McAfferty

  7. He is the new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. • He shows up in a new high school, in a new town, under a new name, makes few friends and doesn't stay long. • Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die -- of "natural causes." • Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, and moves on to the next target.  Call him Boy Nobody

  8. But when he's assigned to the Mayor of New York City, things change. • The daughter seems so much like him; the mayor reminds him of his father. And when memories and questions surface, his handlers at The Program are watching. • Because somewhere, deep inside Boy Nobody, is somebody: the kid he once was, the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and parents; a young man who wants out. • And he just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's next mission.

  9. His name was Boy Nobody. Now he has become…. Why the change?

  10. "When Batman was a little kid, he wanted to grow up to be half as badass as The Unknown Assassin."--Barry Lyga, NY Times bestselling author of the I Hunt Killers series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kTLh2u5BP4
