THE INCREDIBLE TENTH BOOK IN THE ORPHAN-X SERIES WILL THRILL YOU FROM PAGE ONE . --- Evan Smoak doesn't have many friends. Goes with the territory for a former off-the-books government assassin. He certainly can't afford to fall out with the best of them. But Tommy Stojack , a gifted quartermaster whom Evan trusts and relies on, has crossed a line. And when Evan tries to confront him, instead of robust conversation, he comes under attack. Now it's war. Tommy's got other things on his mind, though.

He promised a dying comrade that he'd be there for the man's son, and now the boy's got himself into a world of trouble. The last thing he needs is Evan showing up with vengeance on his mind. And Evan isn't even the most dangerous threat to arrive on the scene . --- Praise for the Orphan X series 'Feels like a missile launch' DAVID BALDACCI 'Outstanding in every way' LEE CHILD 'Weapons-grade thriller writing' GUARDIAN 'An immensely entertaining adventure' THE TIMES.
