Evan Smoak - Orphan X aka The Nowhere Man - is back at break-neck speed in a thrilling new adventure from Gregg Hurwitz. Having just survived an attack on his life Evan Smoak isn' t interested in a new mission. But one finds him anyway. Aragon Urrea is a major drug-dealing kingpin in South Texas. But he' s also a local patron - providing legitimate employment, and a future to a people with little hope. However, for all his money and power, when a vicious cartel kidnaps his daughter he is helpless. Not only must Evan break into the fortress of a heavily armed, deeply paranoid cartel leader - he must decide if he should help a very bad man, no matter how just the cause.

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 * Booklist * Praise for the Orphan X Series * - * Sheer escapist fantasy . . . Sharp, stylish prose, an immensely entertaining adventure * The Times * A stellar series, and the stories get better with each instalment. [Evan Smoak is] the man you want in your corner when justice is needed * Daily Mail * Orphan Xblows 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 * - * Another jet-fuelled thriller * Shots Magazine * Orphan X is most exciting new series character since Jack Reacher.

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 * Booklist *
