I love love this series and recommend it to everybody! If you are a fan of Jack Reacher you,ll love Orphan X because I personally think he,s a better hero! Buy this series you won,t be disappointed!
It's hard to miss all the accolades for this author. They read like a Who's Who of literary giants. It has to be good doesn't it? Well, anyone who can write a complete chapter about a lift journey to the penthouse and make it impossible to flick through the pages has to be doing something right. That gives you a clue to the level of detail Hurwitz applies to every occasion. It's not sufficient to say Smoak carried a gun, it must be described as it would be in the user manual. If you care about these things this will appeal. if you like to put the pictures to the words yourself... it's just too much. When authors gild the lily it feels like they're showing off, flaunting their superior knowledge. I'm a simple man. I just want the story to flow from A to B and understand every step along the way.

I started reading this author a few years ago and have never been disappointed. He grips you from the beginning and he never lets go. I can't say I have read all of his work but I have read most of it and he has never failed me yet. I am not the fastest of readers and I will put down a book if I think it will waste my precious reading time. Gregg has never, yet, flown across the room.

Its a novella and I bought as I found the first orphan x book excellent. I wouldn't bother with this though if I had my time again. Quite a few spelling mistakes which lends itself to the fact that it was put together rather hastily in order to cash in on the success of the first book whilst waiting for the sequel to come out.

The short stories are quite in keeping with the main books, and enjoyable, however, it was very difficult to download it to my tablet and my desktop. I had to copy each page and paste it in a word document so that I could read it, when I wanted to.
