free read


     My current free read book is "Secret Army" by Robert Muchamore. These books are a sister series to the main seres that this follows called Cherub. Basically highly trained M15 operatives recruit kids with out families and typically orphans to come to their secret facility and take part in ruthless training, intense classes, other training aspects to go on their basic training mission where they must survive on their own and block out pain in order to become and agent and go on top secret highly dangerous missions like take down drug cartels, infiltrate high security gangs and clubs. Their main reasoning behind using young teenagers and children is explained in this example. "Say its the middle of the night and its raining a grown man goes to a house and knocks on the door planing to rob it the old woman inside will see the man and more than likely not open the door. Now flip the situation, its the middle of the night and its raining, a young boy no older that eight knocks on the old lades door while the bad guy waits behind the house, the old lady sees the bod and imminently opens the door to help him as the bad guy works together and charges into the front door." The reason the use kids is because no one expects them to be highly trained martial arts and combat trained black belts. These books have been the best books I've read in a long time and I can never get enough.
