New softcover book, published 2010, 384 pages, with a preview of Shadow Wave, Book 12 in the CHERUB series. Suitable for readers aged 12 and older

Britain, 1941. The government is building a secret army of intelligence agents to work undercover, gathering information and planning sabotage operations. Henderson's boys are part of that network: kids cut adrift by the war, training for the fight of their lives. They'll have to parachute into unknown territory, travel cross-country and outsmart a bunch of adults in a daredevil exercise. In wartime Britain, anything goes.

Charles Henderson is back home in Britain, but will the military establishment allow him to enact a plan to train teenagers as spies?

For official purposes, these children do not exist.

Comment from Robert Muchamore - The best part of writing this book was sitting down and working out all the details of how CHERUB got started. Henderson and his team are back in England and the first group of trainee agents are living in a disused school on the edge of an artillery firing range. In this book you'll get to see CHERUB campus for the first time, meet the first training instructor and the first batch of trainees.

About the author

Robert Kilgore Muchamore (born in Islington, UK on 26 December 1972) is an English writer and author of the CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series. He spent thirteen years working as a private investigator. He was inspired to create the CHERUB book series because his nephew couldn't find any books that he liked reading. He tried to write books that he would have enjoyed reading when he was 12 or 13, a time when he remembers being too old for children's books but not old enough to read adult novels.

The CHERUB series follows the life of a character named James Adams (formerly James Choke), a member of CHERUB, a top-secret branch of the British Secret Service. The organisation recruits orphan children and trains them as intelligence officers. Once qualified, they are used to investigate targets ranging from international terrorists to gang leaders. As children, they are considered innocent by their targets.

So far Muchamore has written and published eleven CHERUB novels, with another one in production. Book 12, Shadow Wave, is the last book about James in the series and will be published in late 2010. The CHERUB series has been sold in more than 20 different countries and has won various awards. Book 1 in the series, The Recruit has won 8 literature awards.

Muchamore has also written the Henderson's Boys series - three novels about the beginning of CHERUB. The Henderson's Boys books are set during World War II and follow Charles Henderson, a British secret agent, as he creates the organisation later featured in the CHERUB series. The books feature four children: Marc Kilgour, Paul and Rosie Clarke and PT Bivott. There are 3 books in the series so far, The Escape, Eagle Day and Secret Army. A fourth book, Grey Wolves is due for publication in early 2011.
