Right off the bat, The Last Orphan exhibits all indications of being Gregg Hurwitz’s best Orphan X experience yet. Hair-raising action sequences, warm and tender emotions, and a storyline that just keeps ramping up the excitement by the minute, this thriller is truly special.
The Last Orphan sees Evan Smoak on the run once again from the full force of the US President as he’s cornered to carry out an assassination that does not necessarily align with Evan’s moral commandments. Little do his adversaries know, a feral beast is most dangerous when cornered, and Evan is the most feral one. Orphan X sets afloat on a unique mission that rattles him like nothing before. Gregg Hurwitz superbly displays a chink in Evan’s armor; one that intriguingly grounds him in realistic storytelling and offers an inspirational message for all readers.
The best part about the book is undoubtedly the fantastic action sequences with fun shootouts, martial arts, and foot pursuits as Orphan X outwits his opponents in spectacular fashion without being ridiculous. Teaming up with Candy, the fan-favorite femme fatale, Evan wreaks havoc of all sorts in a fun chaotic manner.
Orphan X stories are beloved by readers for keeping a clear and absolute focus on Evan Smoak’s emotional as well as physical prowess and The Last Orphan continues the recipe of infusing high octane momentum with impactful characters and dialogue that are second to none in the genre. In the simplest of words, The Last Orphan is a must-read!
