Gregg Hurwitz is the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Evan Smoak thrillers Orphan X, The Nowhere Man, Hellbent, Out of the Dark, Into the Fire, Prodigal Son, Dark Horse and The Last Orphan. He is also the author of You're Next, The Survivor, Tell No Lies and Don't Look Back. He lives with his family in LA, where he also writes for the screen, TV and comics.
Nonstop action and relentless pacing are matched by deeply
philosophical and powerfully emotional undertones. Unlike
comparable series that tend to lose steam after several
instalments, this series just gets better as it evolves
*Publishers Weekly*
Hurwitz gives his seventh Orphan X thriller an epic scope, writing
with verve and color . . . A crackerjack thriller that briskly
enhances the legend of Orphan X
*Kirkus*
The Orphan X series has always been about moral ambiguity and the
razor-thin line separating right from wrong, but this novel takes
Evan even farther down the dark road than he's been before . . .
Evan Smoak is one of thrillerdom's most compelling characters, and
Hurwitz keeps revealing new aspects of his complex personality.
Another sure-fire hit

A new series character to rival Reacher . . . anyone reading Orphan
X won't be surprised that a cadre of peers, from Tess Gerritsen to
Lee Child, have lined up to praise it
*Independent*
Bestseller Hurwitz melds non-stop action and high-tech gadgetry
with an acute character study in this excellent series opener . . .
Evan Smoak is an electrifying character
*Publishers Weekly*
In terms of plot, characters, suspense and innovation, Orphan X is
outstanding . . . I've always thought that one reason for Tom
Clancy's success was the endless detail he provided about military
hardware, and that the James Bond novels benefited from the loving
attention Ian Fleming devoted to the martinis, expensive cars and
gorgeous women he so admired. Hurwitz outdoes both writers . . .
Orphan X is a smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller. It's also
the start of a series, one that might give Lee Child's Jack Reacher
books a run for their money
*Washington Post*
A masterpiece of suspense and thrills . . . Turn off the real world
and dive into this amazing start to a new series
*Associated Press*
Don't miss this one
