- Assassin
Part eleven-year-old boy, part robot assassin, Jimmy is on a mission to rescue his parents in an adventure that’s “The Bourne Identity for kids . . . pure gold!” (The Times, London). Some days are normal, and other days you realize you can handle more than you thought. But when Jimmy Coates wakes to find he can outrun, outjump, and outfight anyone—even the men in black suits that are after him—he knows this kind of overnight change doesn’t happen to normal people. And as it turns out, Jimmy isn’t normal at all. Now he’s on the run from men with mysterious green stripes on their cars and helicopters. He doesn’t have time to figure out who they are—or who he is. First, he’s got to survive, and he’s going to need every last bit of his newfound superpowers to do it.
- Revenge
His enemy will always find him—even inside his head Each day, the programming grows stronger and Jimmy Coates is one step closer to becoming a killer. He has run out of places to hide from NJ7, the British intelligence agency that engineered him to be an assassin. Jimmy and his friends escape to Chinatown in New York City. But after arriving, Jimmy begins experiencing something new—headaches accompanied by flashing images. Could he be seeing visions of the future? Meanwhile, his safehouse has been attacked, but not by NJ7. Why haven’t they been looking for him? Jimmy must piece together the puzzle before his visions become reality—and the United States is under siege.
- Target
The secret is out and the hunt is on In the nonstop sequel to Jimmy Coates: Assassin, eleven-year-old Jimmy is in hiding from NJ7, the British intelligence agency that designed and programmed him to be a superassassin. The agency has plans for Jimmy—but, regardless of his programming, he’s determined not to become a killer. If he won’t cooperate, he has to run. But escaping just got harder—there’s another teenage assassin out to find him. This boy is just like Jimmy, except he plans to fulfill his mission to kill.
- Power
Some people will do anything for power—and Jimmy will do anything to stop them Jimmy is ready to tell the world the truth—about the government, his role in the bombing, and his own genetic alteration. But it may be too much knowledge for people to handle. Still, his country is under attack, his body is poisoned, and time is running out. Jimmy needs to fight back with all the assassin skills he has without becoming the killer he was trained to be. With the clock ticking, he discovers that some people will do anything for power. And to stop them, he will have to use some power of his own—even if it turns him into a killer once and for all.
- Blackout
Deeper, darker, deadlier Jimmy Coates can trust only one person to keep the country from falling into chaos—the man he was first sent to kill. But he is nowhere to be found. And the British government will stop at nothing to prevent the opposition from winning the upcoming election. With the help of his friend Eva, who is working deep undercover at NJ7, Jimmy must steer his country in the fight against the dictatorship.

- Survival
Sometimes truth means destruction Jimmy has survived the explosion of Neptune’s Shadow, the second largest oil rig in the world. NJ7 still thinks he died in New York—although Miss Bennett, the agency’s cruel and calculating director, will leave no stone unturned in searching for his body. Now France and England are on the brink of war, and Jimmy is partly responsible. The simplest way to settle the conflict would be to admit he caused the explosion. But coming clean would put more than his own life in peril. Is there a way to keep his family safe and prevent an international disaster?
