This intense story begins with a nameless boy who excels at his job. He doesn't try to hide how good he is from readers, and he isn't coy about his skills. He knows what he has to do, and he does it well.
Because of his training, Ben, as the reader comes to know him, keeps his distance from everyone. There are multiple background characters essential to the progression of the plot, but just when Ben and readers come to predict those people, things change again. This not only proves Ben's thoughts that no one can be trusted, but it keeps the true events of the book hidden until the last moment.
Almost as succinct as Hemingway in writing style, I Am the Weapon is full of heart-stopping action, devious plans, and will keep readers guessing until the very end.
