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.
