The General by Robert Muchamore

The British special forces have been asked to join a war-game hosted by the United States military hosted in Las Vegas. The war-game is to be played in the largest military training compound ever created. Forty British commandos will be hunted down. What the Americans don't know, is that the British have a card up their sleeve, they plan to bring ten Cherub agents, who are elite child operatives serving Britain's intelligence forces, in order to dominate the game. The United States military up against a bunch of kids, what could go wrong?

Cherub is honestly in my top five book series' of all time. The way Robert Muchamore creates realistic and plausible scenarios throughout the whole series draws me to his writing. The General, which is the tenth book in the series is no different from the rest. Every second of reading Cherub books makes you wonder if situations similar to these are actually going on in the world, and they definitely make you hope that there's more to come. This book is one of my favorites in the series, because you get to see a lot of the characters (who are usually in high stress and dangerous situations) let loose, and have some fun. This is a book that I would definitely recommend.
