Cue for Treason, at least in my opinion, can be compared quite easily to The Lord of The Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, in the sense that in both books, the main characters are whisked away on a journey that they have incredibly underestimated. In Lord of The Rings, the main character, Frodo, believes that his journey will be over once he reaches Rivendell, but is proved wrong when he learns of the true peril that his world faces.
In Cue for Treason, the main character, Peter, is also tasked with a journey, going to Scotland to escape a criminal, Sir Phillip, who is looking to capture him for vandalism. Little does Peter know, however, that his journey will be much longer and more important than he believed it to be, when he learns of the plot to assassinate the Queen.
They are also similar in the way that both main characters feel that they are a small part of the bigger picture, and do not truly realize how important they are until later in the story, when events finally come to a climax.
