Orphan X – Gregg Hurwitz (Evan Smoak Book 1)

Orphan X – Gregg Hurwitz (Evan Smoak Book 1) – Genre – Action/Thriller

BlurbThe Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It’s said that when he’s reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them.

But he’s no legend.

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He’s also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as part of the off-the-books black box Orphan program, designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence assets—i.e. assassins. He was Orphan X. Evan broke with the program, using everything he learned to disappear.

Now, however, someone is on his tail. Someone with similar skills and training. Someone who knows Orphan X. Someone who is getting closer and closer. And will exploit Evan’s weakness—his work as The Nowhere Man—to find him and eliminate him. Grabbing the reader from the very first page, Orphan X is a masterful thriller, the first in Gregg Hurwitz’s electrifying new series featuring Evan Smoak.

My Review: Orphan X is the first book in the series featuring Evan Smoak and boy does he make an entrance! This is a tense and gripping thriller that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page and still leaves you wanting more. Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for book 2 next year. If you enjoy Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne you will love Evan.
