About the book
The first in the international bestselling series!
Who is Orphan X?
The 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 not merely a 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 an Orphan, an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: An assassin. Evan was Orphan X - until he broke with the program and used everything he learned to disappear. But now someone is on his tail. Someone with similar skills and training who will exploit Evan's secret new identity as the Nowhere Man to eliminate him.
Praise for Orphan X
Orphan X is his best yet - a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller.
Mind blowing! A perfect mix of Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher.
Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. Read this book. You will thank me later.
Orphan X is the most exciting thriller I've read since The Bourne Identity... A new thriller superstar is born!
Orphan X is most exciting new series character since Jack Reacher. A page-turning masterpiece of suspense.
Orphan X is not good. Orphan X is great. Whatever you like best in a thriller - action, plot, character, suspense - Orphan X has it.
Orphan X is the most gripping, high-octane thriller I've read in a long, long time!
Hurwitz melds nonstop action and high-tech gadgetry...in this excellent series opener.
Excellent...A smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller...might give Lee Child's Jack Reacher books a run for their money.
