“Read the Orphan X series. You’ll thank me later." —David Baldacci
The New York Times bestselling Orphan X returns - just when Evan Smoak thinks he's done, his deadliest job yet pulls him back Into The Fire...
Evan Smoak lives by his own code.
Once he was known as Orphan X. Trained as an off-the-books government assassin and spoken about only in whispers, Evan Smoak was one of the most talented – and most feared – men in the Program. But he broke free and reinvented himself as The Nowhere Man, a figure shrouded in mystery, known for helping the truly desperate.
If anyone is truly desperate, it’s Max Merriweather.
Max is at the end of his rope. His cousin has been brutally murdered, leaving Max an envelope that contains nothing but a mysterious key. However, someone really wants that key, badly enough that Max – and anyone he turns to – is in deadly danger. What seems like a simple job for The Nowhere Man turns out to be anything but. Behind every threat he takes out, a deadlier one emerges and Evan Smoak must put himself in greater danger than ever before as he heads once more Into The Fire.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When does a gun for hire know it’s time to hang up his weapon? If you’re Evan Smoak, better known as Gregg Hurwitz’s antihero Orphan X, it takes five blood-soaked books to come to that conclusion. But as any good thriller fan knows, there’s no retirement plan for vigilante crime fighters. The case that Smoak thought would be his last—protecting an envelope of important documents and its owner from ruthless enemies—becomes one of his most dangerous. Hurwitz delivers action set pieces worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, but also quieter, lighter moments, like Smoak’s slow-boil romance with his assistant district attorney neighbor or his reluctant mentoring of teenage hacker Joey. It’s this balance between heroism and humanity, humor and harshness that makes us love the Orphan X series and cross our fingers that Smoak returns for more.
