Orphan X
by Gregg Hurwitz
Orphan X plunges you into the high-stakes world of Evan Smoak, a man trained from childhood to be an off-the-books government assassin. He was Orphan X, a precision instrument of death, but he broke free. Now, he's the Nowhere Man, using his formidable skills to help those truly desperate and with nowhere else to turn. Reading this feels like a relentless, dark ride, full of sharp edges and moral quandaries. You'll be on the edge of your seat as Evan navigates a world that wants him dead, all while trying to atone for his past. This is for readers who crave intense, fast-paced thrillers featuring a highly capable, somewhat broken hero seeking redemption through vigilante justice.
