Orphan X: A Novel

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. As a child, he was chosen and trained as an Orphan—part of an off-the-books black box program designed to create a deniable intelligence asset and assassin. Known as Orphan X, he eventually broke with the program and disappeared, using his training to establish a new identity as the Nowhere Man. The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure known only through whispers—someone the truly desperate and deserving can reach when they have nowhere else to go. But Evan's carefully constructed life is threatened when someone with similar skills and training discovers his secret identity and pursues him with the intent to eliminate him. This is the first book in an international bestselling series that combines action, high-tech elements, and intricate plotting.
