Out of the Dark

He's your last, best chance as the darkness descends. In Gregg Hurwitz's #1 international bestselling Orphan X series, Evan Smoak makes a comeback.

Evan Smoak was raised and trained as a member of the Orphan Program, an undercover operation created to produce deniable intelligence assets—assassins—after being taken from a group home when he was twelve years old. Orphan X was Evan. Using all he had learned to vanish and resurrect himself as the Nowhere Man—a man who provides assistance to the truly in need when no one else could—he broke with the Program. However, Evan's history with the Orphan Program is now catching up with him.

By eliminating all of the surviving orphans and their trainers, someone at the very top of the government has been attempting to destroy any evidence of the Orphan Program. Evan made the decision to avenge the death of his mentor and the only father he had ever known. His goal is the President of the United States, who initiated the program and is currently the most guarded individual globally.

However, President Bennett has chosen to retaliate using his own weaponry because he is aware that Orphan X is pursuing him. Bennett turns on Orphan X, the first recruit in the program, who is the only guy with the knowledge and abilities to find and eliminate him.

After dedicating all of his abilities, resources, and knowledge to breaking past the President's security perimeter, Evan finds himself in need of self-defense against the most formidable adversaries. The future of the nation and possibly the entire world is at stake in this game of Orphan vs. Orphan.
