The Sunday Times best-selling series returns - and Orphan X faces his most challenging mission ever....
Evan Smoak is a man with many identities and a challenging past. As Orphan X, he was a government assassin for the off-the-books Orphan Program. After he broke with the program, he adopted a new name and a new mission - the Nowhere Man, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble.
Having just survived an attack on his life, and the complete devastation of his base of operations, as well as his complicated (and deepening) relationship with his neighbour, Mia Hall, Evan isn't interested in taking on a new mission.
But one finds him anyway.
Aragon Urrea is a kingpin of a major drug-dealing operation in South Texas. He's also the patron of the local area - supplying employment in legitimate operations, providing help to the helpless, a rough justice to the downtrodden, and a future to a people normally with little hope. He's complicated - a not completely good man, who does bad things for often good reasons.
However, for all his money and power, he is helpless when one of the most vicious cartels kidnaps his innocent 18-year-old daughter, spiriting her away into the armoured complex that is their headquarters in Mexico. With no other way to rescue his daughter, he turns to the Nowhere Man.
Now not only must Evan figure out how to get into the impregnable fortress of a heavily armed, deeply paranoid cartel leader, but he must decide if he should help a very bad man - no matter how just the cause.
©2022 Gregg Hurwitz (P)2022 Penguin AudioDark Horse has certainly not disappointed, I’ve enjoyed every single second of the narrative. The developing depth of X as a man and the myriad of emotional turmoil his chosen life constantly throws up has me mesmerised. The action and excitement are there in abundance as usual with a big dollop of moral ambiguity for X to negotiate. I so want these novels to go on forever and am very grateful to Gregg Hurwitz and Scott Brick for bringing such wonderful characters to life for us all to enjoy.
Btw. Disco balls, Velcro suits and rainbow pebbles are simply scrumptious metaphors along X’s journey of change. Hurwitz is a genius.
Ok. Enough emotional outpouring. When’s the next book out? 😉
I love Orphan X
