Publisher's summary

Do you need my help?
It was always the first question he asked.
They called him when they had nowhere else to turn.

Raised and trained as part of a top-secret programme, he was sent to the worst places in the world to do things his government denied any knowledge of.

Then he broke with the programme and disappeared. But now someone's on his tail. Someone who knows he was once known simply as Orphan X.

Critic reviews

"Outstanding in every way." (Lee Child)
" 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." (David Baldacci)
" Orphan X is his best yet-a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller." (Lee Child)

Great story with plot twists.

Loved this book, can't wait for the sequel. Enough action and great story. Sad and feel good moments alike.

reasonable crime thriller

Not super sold on the character as an actual human being (bit of a Mary Sue) but not bad for an exciting self-insert spy book. Most female characters lacking in dimension though.

Orphan X had me on edge from the start.

This is a great storyline, very well narrated & I can't wait for the next installment. Look out Jack Reacher & Greyman, there's a new kid on the block - Orphan X !

Excellent!

I love action and spy and good guy kicking bad guy's butt. This is all that and much more. And...and...it is well written. Which is not always a given. I do not like to compare characters, so suffice it to say, if you like action, read this

Excellent

The first of Evan Smoke the dark superhero. The narrator is good, the story is great. If you like thrillers, romance, and kind and vulnerable assassins, this is your book.

Exceptional!

This book is definitely one of my top 5 this year. The story was so unexpected and the twists and turns kept me glued.

Scott Brick must be ONE OF THE BEST narrators! Exceptional and he made the characters come alive.

This is a book you mustn't miss
