One Shot Kill (Henderson's Boys)

by Robert Muchamore

Spring, 1943. The war is turning against Germany, but Hitler isn't giving up. In a secret bunker deep in occupied France, scientists are hard at work on Hitler's latest deadly weapon: code name FZG-76.

Back in England Henderson's boys will need to undergo advanced sniper training if they've any chance of infiltrating the bunker. Parachuting into occupied France, they track down a secret dossier filled with invaluable material - and uncover the meaning of the enigmatic code.

For official purposes, these children do not exist.

I flew through the first half and struggled a bit with the second. I liked Justin and his family. It was good getting to see more of Rosie and Marc and Paul. Luc is just batshit crazy. One thing I've found super odd is reading Cherub at the same time - the origins story of Cherub differs. Henderson's Boys Cherub is started by Henderson after he meets Marc and Rosie and Paul and is shown the use of such agents. But Cherub suggests that Henderson started it only after he saw France/Germany using kids as spies. I guess it's only a small distinction but it's driving me nuts. And Terrence I really need to know how he came to be McAfferty - how does he get recruited - is it after his father dies? Before? Does McAfferty adopt him? Why does he take her name? I need answers.
