* AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *
"This novel will be remembered as one of the best thrillers of the year." —Associated Press

"A shocking stunner in every way. The perfect thriller." —Robert Crais
When darkness closes in—he's your last, best hope. Evan Smoak returns in Gregg Hurwitz's #1 international bestselling Orphan X series in Out of the Dark.

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.

President Bennett has a vendetta against Orphan X that seems to be attached to Evan's first mission in 1997. As Bennett seeks to kill him and all other rogue orphans, Evan hatches a plan to assassinate the president. But, the president has Naomi Templeton, daughter of former Secret Service agent, to lead his protective team. And, he enlists the help of Orphan A who has his own angst with X and a team of thugs.

One of the rules of engagement is "one mission at a time," so when Evan also receives a call for Nowhere Man help--an autistic man's whole family is killed when he innocently alerts authorities to a drug shipment. And, Mia receives threatening phone calls from a former conviction. Evan is distracted from his primary mission to remove President Bennett even when he tries to let Mia handle her own situation.

Evan reaches out to Joey for computer hacking support while keeping her hidden in Europe. And, Candy realizes that her life is in danger as long as Bennett is alive, she sets aside her hostilities to help Evan in their most daring assassination yet.

The president, secret service, a former orphan, two criminal gangs, and an abuser put Evan in significant danger as he tries to survive multiple missions at once.

Orphan X, Evan Smoak, is going up against the President of the United States. This will be his toughest assignment yet. With his life on the line, will he be able to wipe out the most protected man on the planet?

I listened to this last year so the finer details are a bit fuzzy. However, it’s Orphan X, my new favorite action thriller series, so going by my rating on Goodreads, I know I loved it.

Evan’s enemy this time is powerful and so well-protected I had to wonder, how the hell was he going to take out his target without getting killed himself. The beauty of the author’s writing is that the reader gets no hints (or very little) as to Evan’s plan. It all unrolls as you read. Sometimes things don’t always go as planned and Evan has to improvise. We only know this because Evan reveals it as so. It’s exciting to just strap yourself into the seat and hold on tight for the ride. Because, make no mistake, it is a ride. A wild ride. Careening down a steep mountainside and all you have for brakes are your Fred Flintstone feet. Exhilarating! And that ending? Holy shit!

This is book 4, so Scott Brick is definitely Evan Smoak. A+++ for narration. ( )

How has this series not made it to the big screen? Evan Smoak is an hot vigilante action blockbuster movie hero waiting to be realised. This one had some fairly far fetched scenarios but I genuinely didn't care. Super entertaining with a side of feels. ( )

The thing with the Orphan X books is that they’re just fun. I mean, Evan Smoak is as Mary Jane as can be and there isn’t much in the way of believable activities but I can help enjoying the shit out of this series. Yes, I’m about to start the next one.

They’re a little candy for my brain. Yum! ( )
