Thriller Extraordinaire
After reading the first two "Orphan X" novels, I was seriously anticipating this one. It wasn't a terribly long wait, as I have lots of equally anticipated favorite authors, and this one was well worth the wait. Despite similar attributes to characters like Jason Bourne, and Jack Reacher, Orphan X is different. He's singularly focused, and slightly OCD, yet trying to comprehend the more human (and unfamiliar to him) concepts of family, and love. He doesn't want to lose his focus, however, as the Nowhere Man who helps desperate people, with nowhere else to turn, by less-than-legal methods. So yeah, he's a walking dichotomy. This book continues his story at a break-neck pace, as usual. Hurwitz easily keeps you right on the edge of your seat, turning pages just as fast as you can. I haven't read anything else he's written, but I'm going to have to remedy that.
