Description
No greater friend. No deadlier enemy.
The explosive new novel in the New York Times bestselling Orphan X series is flipping the acclaimed series on its head. Find out why series superfans and new readers alike are calling it a “knockout” (firstCLUE).
Evan Smoak is a highly trained former government assassin who has survived for years by keeping his circle to a few trusted confidants and a strict code he calls “The Ten Commandments.” But when Evan suddenly finds himself at odds with his oldest friend, all the rules he lives by shatter—and the consequences are murderous.
Tommy Stojack might be Evan's best friend in the world. He’s a gifted gunsmith who has created much of Evan's own weapons and combat gear. But now, he has apparently crossed one of Evan's hardest lines and their argument explodes into open warfare. Now Evan has no choice but to track and face down his only friend.
In the meantime, Tommy has left town in order to honor his own promise to help a dead friend's son. While Tommy is fighting to save the son with everything he’s got, Evan arrives with vengeance in mind.
But as deadly as the former Orphan X is, there is an even more dangerous threat about to arrive on the scene. The only question left is will any of them get out alive.

2By Buck113Not the best Orphan X book. Pretty disappointed. The ending was horrible in the sense that there was no closure. It wasn’t worth the money to be honest. I wish that it was available at my local library.Ok. Not great.
3By NikiNik25I’ve read all the books in the Orphan X Series, this one is not his best. Very slow at times, then a too abrupt ending.Sad departure
2By cbo19283745958472Simply not at the same level of the previous novels.Nemesis
5By bxj3This is the best book in the Orphan X series! Evan is more “real” in this one and even more lethal. The short interlude with Joey, Evan and Dog somehow adds to the mix of Evan’s feelings that are shown when he thinks he is betrayed by Tommy. If the reader wants to read the books in this series, I recommend starting at the beginning and rushing to this even if it takes a year.Stay human
5By JS fan not MLA little slow at the beginning but once you get through that, you won’t be able to put the book down. I love the Orphan X character and I was pleasantly surprised by the deeper dive into him…..how to keep him human! Highly recommend this series for anyone looking for one.Nemesis
