Praise for Orphan X * - *
Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch.
Read this book. You will thank me laterOrphan X is
his best yet - a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller
Orphan X is the most
gripping, high-octane thriller I've read in a long, long time!
Orphan X is
most exciting new series character since Jack Reacher. A page-turning masterpiece of suspense
Mind blowing! A perfect mix of Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher
Orphan X is the most exciting thriller I've read since
The Bourne Identity ...
A new thriller superstar is born!
Orphan X is not good.
Orphan X is great. Whatever you like best in a thriller -
action, plot, character, suspense -
Orphan X has it
A new series character to rival Reacher . . . anyone reading
Orphan X won't be surprised that a cadre of peers, from Tess Gerritsen to Lee Child, have lined up to praise it * Independent *
Bestseller Hurwitz melds non-stop action and high-tech gadgetry with an acute character study in this
excellent series opener . . . Evan Smoak is an
electrifying character * Publishers Weekly *
In terms of plot, characters, suspense and innovation,
Orphan X is outstanding . . . I've always thought that one reason for
Tom Clancy's success was the endless detail he provided about military hardware, and that the
James Bond novels benefited from the loving attention
Ian Fleming devoted to the martinis, expensive cars and gorgeous women he so admired.
Hurwitz outdoes both writers . . .
Orphan X is a smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller. It's also the start of a series, one that might give
Lee Child's Jack Reacher books a run for their money * WASHINGTON POST *
A masterpiece of suspense and thrills . . . Turn off the real world and dive into this
amazing start to a new series * Associated Press *
