I was also very disappointed. I bought this book as a Christmas present for my husband and when he started reading it he said it was EXACTLY the same as Boy Soldier (which we waited for ages to be published).

Bought this book as it was a new release from Andy McNab and to date his books are always very good. Therefore how disappointed was I with "Traitor" the story is good the book is good it is just a pity it is exactly the same book as the previously published "Boy Soldier" Looks like they have just changed book publishers as Boy Soldier was from Doubleday and Traitor is from Putnam.

Hero or Traitor?
11 Feb 2006
Format:Hardcover
The book Traitor is by Andy McNab and Robert Rigby. Traitor is about a boy named Danny Watts living in Wiltshire, England who wants to join the army. Danny believes his application for a scholarship from the RCB (Regular Commissions Board) is turned down because his grandfather turned into a traitor. Fergus Watts, once an SAS hero turned against his country and befriended Columbian drug lords. Danny wants to go hunt down his grandfather for preventing him from entering the army, and for his betrayal. Members of MI5 (NOT MI6) are also after Fergus, and do not want Danny to know the truth. Danny's best friend, Elena, who is a semi-genius, helps Danny track down his grandfather. Let's not forget the cowardly but determined reporter, Eddie Moyes. All of these characters come together in the end in a clash that will test the trust of some, and strengthen the trust of others. Traitor is a lot of action and fast-paced events, as well as some humor and intrigue. I recommend this book for anyone who loves action books. I enjoyed this book thoroughly, because of the ways Danny and Fergus manage to escape from the MI5. Remember, you never know who you can trust.

A great book to read
4 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
Do you like heart-stopping plot twisting books that are changing all the time? If you have answered yes then Traitor by Andy Mcnab and Robert Rigby might be the book for you. This book is the story of a seventeen-year-old boy named Danny Watts, who is training to be in the army. Danny is kept out of the army because of his grand father, Fergus Watts who is a supposed SAS traitor. Danny is an orphan living at an orphanage called foxcroft where his friend Elena helps him find his grandfather. This story is written from Danny's point of view and from Fergus's. This is probably one of the best non-fiction books that I have read in a long and Andy Mcnab and Robert Rigby's style of writing makes this book even more enjoyable. So if you are between the ages of 10 and 14 and like a good book with an unpredictable ending that is writing very well I highly suggest that you give this book a try.
Disappointing

This is another example of an author lending his name to a book that was entirely written by a third-tier writer. The plot was more boring than the dialogue. Don't waste your time with this one.
