“Brilliantly conceived and plotted … Read this book. You’ll thank me later.” -- David Baldacci

The first in the international bestselling series!

Who is Orphan X?

The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It’s said that when he’s reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them. But he’s not merely a legend.

“Excellent…A smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller…might give Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books a run for their money.”—The Washington Post

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He’s also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as an Orphan, an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: An assassin. Evan was Orphan X—until he broke with the program and used everything he learned to disappear. But now someone is on his tail. Someone with similar skills and training who will exploit Evan’s secret new identity as the Nowhere Man to eliminate him.

“Hurwitz melds nonstop action and high-tech gadgetry…in this excellent series opener.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Great book!. Haven't turned pages this fast in a long while. If you like action-packed thrillers, you won't want to miss this one.

Review12abcxyz

Terrible book. Super hero meets cold blooded killer. There is infinite description of his apartment. Listing all the appliances in detail , furniture in detail , color of walls in detail, security, special glass , on and on. Just boring.

!Magicalme!<3

Awesome Book!. Fast paced,great characters,exciting throughout. Great job

DonnieboyT

Classic good guy bad guy.. A little bit slow in the front as he lays the ground work but then rolls nicely.

Kasi159

Orphan X. wow!

Beaver1943

Wrong Genre. This book belongs in the category “super hero, sci-if thriller.” It has absolutely nothing to do with reality. No human being can do 1% of what Orphan X can do. If you like fantasy, read the book. ‘Nough said.

Mcaleavy

Nowhere man. Enthralling until the forth time he escapes and is re-caught at which the whole thing becomes masochistic.

Regret purchase of this

Better than Bourne. Wow! Who knew. I rarely write reviews but man, this book was awesome. Never predictable but exciting, suspenseful and great characters. Highly recommend.

Rika1974

The real thing. This is a refreshing new idea that reminds me of the Jason Bourne stories. It’s truly a great read.

Rocketgirl56

Orphan X. The story is well-written, but the premise is so extreme as to beg credulity. I felt the author became obsessed with various martial arts techniques and moves and also with his descriptions of the protagonist's weapons of choice. I can enjoy reading about a good fight, but in this book the fights were over the top with detail and unfamiliar terminology. Unless you're a martial arts and weapons aficionado I doubt this book is for you.

Jas849

Enjoyable read. I hope The writer goes on to do a prequel to the series. I would love to hear the backstory and some of the missions he went on. While orphan X touched on some of his training, there were very few details given.

WirdLuver

Orphan X. First book review I've written. Fantastic story, writing, research. Pleasant surprise. Read it in 2 days. I'm avid reader and fan of multiple authors. This guys at the top of my list!!! Well done. Evan Smoak is a great character.

Mx5mx51

A Bourne Wannabe. I don't get the raves about this book. A quick read, yes. Lots of action, yes. But its completely implausible, lacks character development, and has a story line limited to fighting maneuvers and weapons inventories. Three stars is generous. I won’t be reading the sequel.

TyGrayEL

Enjoyable. Great read, believable and refreshingly educational. Can hardly wait to find out ‘where’ Nowhere Man will show up “next time”

Kcflagator

Great read. Wonderful book. Extremely well written. Fast-paced. All of the pieces get tied together. Expertly done.

Adimarz

Nice read. Recommended for someone preferring an alternative to the Reacher series.

JBibee0508

Best written book in genre‼️. I sent a message via Instagram to the author, commenting that this book is the best written book I’ve ever read in this genre. I too am an author of thriller novels, and his writing humbled me. I’m sad it took me so long to find Orphan X!

LovetheMoviews

Good story. Great imagery.. Fast paced. Unexpected plot twists. Well written.

Yallcomebacknow

Well written, a page turner!. Fast moving and very enjoyable I shall now read more of Mr. Hurwitz’s work.

DrHorn

Best read of the New Year.. I'm a devoted mystery fan. This book was amazing--fast paced, surprising, creative--unique and wonderful. I pray this becomes a series. It should be on the number 1 best seller list. A must read. Dr Horn

Jansipod

Exciting. I am so glad I took a chance on this exciting suspenseful mystery. I didn't want it to end!

SciTeach3

Very excited for this series!. I love finding a new author and character to get behind. This was a thrilling ride throughout and I cannot wait to see how Evan's sense of humanity grows in coming books.

Chalupaman

Couldn’t get through the first few pages.. Too many product placements and adverbs. Too many details that don’t matter to the story. Who cares what the phone is call or that it has gorilla glass.

Frenchy0674

Outstanding! A page turner!. Wow . . I've been waiting for a book that I couldn't put down, and this one did that! Intrigue, suspense, mystery . . I'm so glad I found this book . . highly, highly recommended!!

Ujp777

Awesome book!. Great book kept me on my toes!

Ephemera Danica

Excellent read. Well written, interesting character and an almost plausible although well tried plot. Of its genre it is definitely up there and if you are into the lone wolf characters, creators of mayhem, you will enjoy this.

Barbicrash

Orphan X. I was lucky to win a copy of this book on goodreads. It is one of the best books I have ever read. The subject matter was great. You won't be disappointed!

Rokin Robn

What I will remember. Smooth, fast read. I will remember Evan, his love for cold, clean vodka and cold, clean getaways. I liked him very much, and the story was a good way to meet him.

Excellent. The story of Evan Smoak is dark & dangerous. This novel draws the reader in immediately, its fast paced & exciting. Evan is out to help the downtrodden, with only one request in return. This is where you will be in for a ride. It’s a very good novel, I was not disappointed.

Wolfacet

Orphan X - cellent!!!. Great read, nicely paced narrative, great finish...will be reading more.

FernyD

Another Reacher and Rapp-styled hero. I really liked the book and it definitely reminded me of Mitch Rapp and Jack Reacher's adventures. I look forward to the next book in the series and if it's as good as this one I shall purchase and read them all.

Rmjessome

Action packed. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thriller. Well paced, filled with action and just enough character development to make me want to know more. This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last.
