The term “Covert Action” brings with it a connotation of shadowy figures wrapped in secrecy and intrigue. It also brings with it a substantial amount of moral questions as to “what is right.” The use of covert action has been widely publicized since the early seventies, but trying to find out the truth to these events has been difficult to say the least. What is even more difficult, is historically recording these events into categories of successes or failures. These operations are difficult to dissect because of their secrecy and although events have been recorded, some facts simply aren’t apparent.

Menace II Society, a film about a young Black man who has lived the “hustler” lifestyle and is struggling to leave it, is a perfect example of deviance as the main character, Caine Lawson, and the characters around him violate many of society’s norms.

Thinking in the philosophical terms of "good" and "evil," nothing purely "good" can survive without the slightest taint of "evil," and vice-versa. The same standard exists for everything. Just as you cannot always succeed by being purely honest, a government cannot hold itself together without committing it's own personal rights and wrongs. The United States of America has protected its residents well in the past, and kept the appearance of a mild innocense; well, most of it, anyway. The Covert Intelligence Agency (CIA) is mostly swamped in its wrongs, though many have not even been proven. The CIA has been this country's "yang" to protect the populace of the USA.

The 11 sleepers live in Monterey and Salinas with successful careers and blend well with the community. The sleeper cell is assembled with unique strengths and access to key targets. According to Stewart (2010), “In the terminology of espionage, a “sleeper” is an operative who infiltrates the society, or even the government, of a targeted country and is there to remain dormant until activated by a prearranged signal or a certain chain of events” (para. 5).

The traitor is about a sixteen-seventeen year old who at age twelve was forced to join a secrect government organization that call themselves the program. As the third and final book in the boy nobody series it, like the previous two books, is fast paced and gives you a sense of excitement and keeps you on the edge of your seat. In my opinion The Traitor was incredibly good even though it could be a bit slow paced at times, I thoroughly enjoyed the action packed series and I think it will accumulate numerous amounts of success over time.
