Ricky is a tough street kid who steals from people to get by. After his latest theft goes badly wrong, Ricky is rescued by a man named Felix, who offers Ricky a home and money, in exchange for lessons. But why do these 'lessons' include surveilance tactics and hand-to-hand combat? RIcky has no idea, until Felix gives him his first mission...

​

If you're into books like the CHERUB series, you'll enjoy this one.

​

Being a former soldier, Chris knows all about different survival and combat techniques, and there are heaps on display in this book, like when Ricky learns how to defend himself using only a ballpoint pen and a hardcover book.

​

Of course, there's always a villian in these sorts of books, and Chris has come up with a good one with Jacob Cole, a corrupt politician looking to make a dangerous deal.

​

There's also a surprise in store for fans of the Agent 21 series, as Zak Darke, aka Agent 21, makes an appearence in this book too!

​

Overall this is another action-packed spy novel from an experienced author, and a must for fans of this genre.
