What links a drugs smuggler, a corrupt customs official and the illegal immigrant wno made your lunchtime sandwich?

Ryan Sharma's about to find out.

Ryan is the newest recruit to CHERUB. Twelve years old, just out of basic training and as green as grass. He's got his first mission: befriending Ethan Aramov, a spoilt rich boy living in California , who likes computers and chess. He makes easy prey for school bullies, but his grandmother just happens to run a billion dollar criminal empire. Ryan's got no idea that this routine job will lead him into an explosive adventure involving drug smugglers, illegal immigrants and human trafficking, or that his routine first mission will turn into one of the biggest in CHERUB history ...

Comment from Robert Muchamore - After finishing Shadow Wave I realised that I didn't want to stop doing CHERUB. But after writing more than a million words about James and his gang, I wanted to do something different. Writing People's Republic was great, because all the characters are at the start of their CHERUB careers and I got the same sense of fun I had six years earlier when I was writing The Recruit and Class A.

About the author

Robert Kilgore Muchamore (born 26 December 1972) is an English writer and author of the CHERUB and Henderson's Boys series. He started writing the CHERUB books 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 thirteen CHERUB novels, with at least another two books planned. 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.
