Into the Fire: An Orphan X Novel by Gregg Hurwitz

4.0

4 1/2 stars. This series is one of the most consistently outstanding thriller series I’ve ever read. Evan Smoak has been The Nowhere Man since he ceased being Orphan X, an assassin raised and groomed in a secret US government program. But now he’s decided he wants to be done with The Nowhere Man too and just live as Evan once this final mission is done. He gets a call from Max Merriweather, whose cousin Grant has died and left him a thumb drive bearing secrets about some dangerous men he worked around. Max knows he’s in over his head and he and Evan dig into what Grant was involved in. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous it gets, and even Evan is challenged like he hasn’t been on previous missions. The cast of characters is interesting and the characters complex, and I find Evan’s group of helpers to be especially fun to read about. Highly recommended if you like suspense, intrigue, and a touch of grit, all dashed with some humor.
