This is the first of the Series. Orphan X's background in this book was a little sketchy; perhaps it would be filled out in later stories. He was a government assassin who became a "do-gooder" after he left the program when it was rolled…

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I should say in my review of Orphan X. It's definitely full of action, adventure, double-crosses, and betrayal. Evan Smoak (not his real name) was an orphan who was taken in by a covert…

Audio book review. Not bad way too many overly precise descriptions of things, vodka, weapons. A ten line description of a sword that made me roll my eyes so hard I got a headache. But a decent thriller a little predictable but good…

Simple and fun read. Good pulp fiction.

I wanted to like this book more, but the cliches were painful. I was pretty much done with it when he described the floating bed - are you joking? That kind of magnets for a bed? And no electronics were affected?? So, go watch a James Bond…

This is definitely a “guys book.” Well written, and the plot moves along at a rapid pace. However, Hurwitz describes guns and knives and details fight scenes to the degree that I found myself just skimming those sections. With that in…

Created for the screen action character. From Kim to the present we have a fascination with the molding of a child into a secret agent. I'm sure it has been done ala Red Sparrow and the Bourne type characters. Now we have another who works…

I guess the author's agent told him to create a series character. You know, like that Jack Reacher guy. This is the feeble result. Comic book characters and far-fetched story.

I wish my assassin dad was a walking cliche. Beethoven CDs are so good for children studying--even those studying weaponry dismantlement! I would be so cultured if my assassin dad cared for me like that, making me read Homer and…

I had to persevere due to the amount of uninteresting and superfluous detail. Mid-way through. it became truly interesting.

Never heard of the TV show but I gave the book an average rating. The ending was too predictable!

A very good book. Much action which will keep your attention.

I really enjoyed this book. Plenty of action, suspense and twists. Evan's character is fully detailed - going back to his being raised by Jack, his handler, to present day events. The ending was a surprise and this will most likely be…

"The hard part isn't turning you into a killer, the hard part is keeping you human." This is why Evan Smoak is likable - he has a heart. Liked Evan, liked the relationship between him and his handler, liked that his handler kept him…

Kind of cartoonish and formulaic [how do these crime fighters always get to be soooo rich???] and predictable but still somewhat entertaining.

.·:*¨¨*:·..Good but not Great..·:*¨¨*:·. James Bond but with greater technology and its gimmicks. The name dropping of the tools of war gets a little tiresome, especially at the beginning. Think of watching a movie with constant and…

Really excellent thriller. It was totally engrossing. This would be a good choice for Jack Reacher fans.

Looks like a twist on the orphan black TV show
