Description
This is an auction for ORPHAN X, by Gregg Hurwitz.
“Hurwitz melds nonstop action and high-tech gadgetry…in this excellent series opener.”
- a *** starred *** review in Publishers Weekly (US)
“Brilliantly conceived and plotted … Read this book. You’ll thank me later.”
- David Baldacci
“Excellent…A smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller…might give Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books a run for their money.”
- Washington Post
Amazon.com reviews:
"Hurwitz capably builds Evan's character as he matures from bewildered orphan into deadly assassin. I found Evan's personal growth as a man to be as compelling as his growth toward assassin. As "Orphan X" unfolds, we see Evan balancing his loneliness and training with a need to belong; to have an emotional anchor with others. Hurwitz employs a mix of neighbous, some old and nosy, some attractive and supportive. to reveal Evan's emotional growth through interpersonal interactions. I am a great fan of the loner-who helps-those in-need sub-genre of action/suspense thrillers and I enjoyed this novel immensely and do hope it becomes a recurring series. I unequivocally recommend it to those who equally enjoy this genre of escapist literature."
"There's a thrill a minute in this tale - Hurwitz doesn't let you slack off or take a rest. Once the pages start turning, give up any hope of conducting your daily life, as, you're hooked. This novel is not my normal fare, but the blurb was so compelling, I had to read it!! And, I'm glad I did, as it will be some time before Evan Smoak becomes a distant memory! Highly recommended!"
