Out of the Dark
Out of the Dark | Gregg Hurwitz
When darkness closes in--he's your last, best hope. Evan Smoak returns in Gregg Hurwitz's #1 international bestselling Orphan X series. Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, an off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets--i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man, a man who helps the truly desperate when no one else can. But now Evan's past is catching up to him. Someone at the very highest level of government has been trying to eliminate every trace of the Orphan Program by killing all the remaining Orphans and their trainers. After Evan's mentor and the only father he ever knew was killed, he decided to strike back. His target is the man who started the Program and who is now the most heavily guarded person in the world: the President of the United States. But President Bennett knows that Orphan X is after him and, using weapons of his own, he's decided to counter-attack. Bennett activates the one man who has the skills and experience to track down and take out Orphan X--the first recruit of the Program, Orphan A. With Evan devoting all his skills, resources, and intelligence to find a way through the layers of security that surround the President, suddenly he also has to protect himself against the deadliest of opponents. It's Orphan vs. Orphan with the future of the country--even the world--on the line.

Another great Orphan X novel from Hurwitz. Lots of twists and turns as Orphan X narrows in on the truth around his first mission and why the President of the United States would want him dead for an assassination in 1997. Hurwitz writes with a pace that gets your heart thumping as X fights his way to a thrilling conclusion. With lots of action and suspense this is a fantastic series...how long before Netflix get their hands on the Nowhere Man?

After a day of cleaning I am going to read for a bit whilst having a cuppa. Really enjoying this instalment; Orphan X is a great lead with a Jason Bourne feel to his skill set & damaged soul but with a different motive - to kill the President!

Hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday with a few chapters fitted in & lots of sunshine 🌞

Managed to finish amongst a million family things today! Another great addition to the series, I wondered how he was going to get out of so many things!! But he did. Loved Naomi - is she going to get a reappearance?

Another exceptional thriller. All the cliched descriptions for action films apply here: “action-packed”, “edge-of-your-seat”, etc., etc., and they are all compliments. Hurwitz‘s prose is so perfect that the scenes play out in the reader‘s mind as if they were watching a movie instead of reading text. Evan is brilliant, but the best part for me was Evan‘s The Nowhere Man client, Trevon. 😭 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

RJHowe Love the Orphan X series. Greg has great craft 5y
minkyb Oh I love this series! 5y

If I needed help, I would totally count on Orphan X to keep me #safe, even if he doesn‘t have the most reassuring bedside manner. #QuotsyFeb19

TrishB Literally just started it 👍🏻 5y
DGRachel @TrishB I‘m barely 1/3 through it...stupid migraines all week have made reading a challenge so you‘ll probably finish first. I‘m just hoping to finish it this weekend. Enjoy! 5y
TrishB Hope you‘re feeling better soon. Tiredness and doing revision cards with my daughter will probably put paid to much reading tonight. But it will be a good read 👍🏻 5y

I think the Orphan X books are a bit unrealistic, but I can‘t resist them! There‘s something about Evan that has me cheering for him every time.

AnneFindsJoy Yes! Love this series, listening to this one right now! Welcome to Litsy! 🙌📚💜 5y

Well, I WAS going to start HP2 this afternoon, but my order arrived at #ParkRoadBooks and now I have the next Orphan X novel in my hands. I am faced with a terrible dilemma! Which do I read first? #firstworldproblems #readerdilemma #iheartevan #butiheartdobbytoo

TrishB Definitely not the HP this time!! 5y
DGRachel @TrishB Prepare to be disappointed in my life choices. 😂 I figured I should read HP over the weekend because it‘s easier to haul Evan to work than the illustrated edition of HP. 5y
TrishB But logical reasoning for the choice 👍🏻 5y
minkyb Evan!!! 5y
