Every year, one of my most anticipated novels is the newest installment in the Orphan X series, and each year, Hurwitz exceeds my expectations.
As we start off The Last Orphan, the United States government has located Evan Smoak (aka Orphan X), and they want him captured. Once they get their hands on him, what they ask is a little different than Smoak initially expected. They want him for a mission. This isn’t the standard call to 1-855-2-NOWHERE that Evan traditionally receives. The government wants him to eliminate Luke Devine, a billionaire mogul. Evan sets off on his mission, but as he uncovers secrets along the way, he must reevaluate his decisions.
The Last Orphan is another stellar thriller novel by one of the best in the business. Although I found myself yearning for the storyline between Mia and Evan, I found this novel to be everything that we’ve come to expect from Hurwitz. Hurwitz is a master of the writing craft, with the most brilliant prose, witty and intriguing dialogue, nonstop action that thriller fans will love, and possibly most importantly, a flawed character that is trying to find his place in the world. The Last Orphan is the perfect summation of everything you want in a thriller. Don’t miss out on one of the best series available.
