Orphan X

It’s been at least 20 years since I read a Gregg Hurwitz book, and now I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this author: enter Evan Smoak as Orphan X and I have a new favorite hero. One of the best books I’ve ever read!

I'm currently reading Hurwitz', "Dark Horse" (7th of the Orphan X series). This author is incapable of writing a bad novel. They just keep getting better (seriously!). There is tons of fascinating information about, e.g., IT. I put the book down to look up stuff...and don't even mind! Jack Carr, Mark Greaney, Vince Flynn, Tim Tigner, Steven Konkoly, M.P. Woodward...(only read 2 Brad Thor novels) all excellent authors...they write very good, exciting, page-turners, however, Hurwitz, is the new "action/thriller/contract assassin/gov. asset" master. The content of these books makes me extra glad I'm an avid, addictive, voracious reader. Believe me, fellow readers - this is good stuff. Start with "Orphan X"... the protagonist is "Evan Smoak". He's a "takes names & kick-ass" (in that order) kinda guy. There's the "spoiler"...enough "said". Regarding Hurwitz' book, Lee Child wrote a brief review reading "...you'll thank me..." Well, thank you (though, I've only read his "The Killing Floor)! Novels such as Hurwitz' are enough to make almost any "candy crusher" ditch that mind-numbing "game".

The beginning of the best series in this entire over done genre. Gray Man, Victor, Allon, Bourne…they are decent. This Ophan X puts them all to shame.

Just like the Gray Man, this series is amazing. Great characters and story. I listened to this entire series, but have bought them for friends. They are hooked as well. Keep them coming! So much fun and action. I adore Evan Smoak AKA The Nowhere Man.

Book was amazing. Couldn’t put it down. Just ordered the follow up books.

I just discovered the Orphan X series and am totally blown away! I love action, adventure books and these are now on the top of my list of favorites.
