In a life altering adventure, Orphan X is challenged in ways he’s never been challenged before. With traumatizing lives that people live, is the sole survivor of a dark sanctioned government assassination program going to be the person to help deliver restitution?
At one of the most magnificent homes in the world, Luke Devine is hosting the party for the ages. One that will fulfill every fantasy and necessity one could imagine. But it just might be the party that prevents some from never aging again. Across the pond, Smoak is in Iceland enjoying one of the most desired glacial vodkas ever created and where the ass whoopings begin.
I don’t know what it feels like, but I imagine being on the run from the feds can’t be a great feeling. Never a good moment to get rolled up by Naomi Templeton, someone who you know has been trying to keep tabs on you. As Smoak is forced to comply with law enforcement to prevent breaking his code, he’s been summoned by the most powerful person on the face of the earth. After being cornered and locked down, Smoak gets direction from the President of the United States to execute or face the cancellation of his immunity. What ensues is a journey that will force Evan to evaluate who he is and why he is doing the things he has done. His moral compass has been true to course over the years, but there is always insider information that could sway the actions or help him understand why those actions are being taken.
Orphan X is a unique example of what can go right and go wrong with the governments putting their hand on everything. X drives a hard-hitting Mack truck through any and everything that stops him but what happens when he is forced to dive deep into a situation and understand what is really going on? Driven by a quest for helping the little guy, X gets himself into the dark realm of the bad guys only to find more than meets the eye.
Vicious action, sprinkled with a deep rooted need-for-truth drive this Hurwitz masterpiece. Evan Smoak is a complicated person, that’s easy to see and absolutely understandable. But when life starts throwing him curveballs that force him to re-evaluate, you might wonder if X has lost his edge. Orphan X has been a pulse pounding punch delivering tool for years, but has the time come to become a more methodical instrument of war?
