Orphan X is still fighting the good fight and I'm SO glad. Evan is such a paradox. Such an interesting and intriguing character. It's impossible not to love this series. As we find out more about Evan's personal life and back history than ever before, the story just becomes more exciting and captivating than should be possible. I don't know how Gregg Hurwitz does it. The level of storytelling just keeps getting better and better.

Wow! What an incredible blend of action, suspense, and technology mixed with interpersonal relationships that add so much depth to Evan Smoak. When The Nowhere Man gets a phone call, his whole life changes. The man we know by still another name, Orphan X, is reunited with his past in ways that force him to examine many of his long-held, long-suppressed feelings. The villains are, as usual, super evil and determined to eliminate our protagonist. But with a little help from his friends, Evan continues the good fight.

Hurwitz' Orphan X series is always there for when you want a quick-reading action-packed thriller. Evan Smoak was whisked away from his orphanage (or really nasty group home) to be trained as a virtuoso assassin. Having quit that profession, Smoak has remade himself as the Nowhere Man, a sort of caped crusader without the costume and with a high rise condo instead of a bat cave. He's the legendary nowhere man who offers help to the desperate who have nowhere else to turn to. Put aside any concerns for where his endless monies come from, his surveillance gadgets, his James Bond like weapons, and enjoy the thrill ride. In the sixth episode in this series, our superhero finds out things about his origins that perhaps he didn't want to know. And, tackles a James Bond type mad scientist super villain with a doomsday weapon.

That moment you spend your whole life trying to be different only to learn you're the same.
"We're not the only hunters in the game anymore."
Truth be told we wore never alone. Wore we?
Folks, this was an absolute killer in the thriller realm of technology, action, suspense, and mystery.
Chilling wouldn't describe the depth of this one because it was also quite moving and heartfelt which is often excluded in this genre.
My word Gregg Andrew Hurwitz has really outdone himself on this one because he has covered every base with glaring precision, immense thought provoking action, and suspenseful military accuracy with nothing more left unsaid.
Which brings me to my point...so many things might be left unsaid in terms of one's connections to others.
That idea that you belong, you're a part of something bigger, your life -successes and or failures-matter.
Life lessons isn't that what's all about but think for a second what would you do if you could focus more attention on helping those in need?

I really enjoyed this series and I loved the characters. There is a lot of information about his early life There was a lot of technical info that was above my head. I am looking forward to the next book in this series

I enjoyed this book. It's different from the previous book it that it's has a lot of personal emotional scenes, but also plenty of action. I really like Evan and hopefully there's a next book. #ProdigalSon #NetGalley
