In this fourth installment of the consistently excellent Orphan X series, Evan Smoak continues to pay penance for his past by helping strangers in desperate situations. However, his charity work keeps getting interrupted by government officials who want him eliminated in order to cover up their own misdeeds.
Out of the Dark features the return of characters from some of the previous novels and is a definite continuation of the series story line. Enough backstory is provided so that new readers likely won't be lost, but the book will be more engaging if one has read the previous entries.
Evan Smoak is like Jack Reacher on steroids: the stakes are higher and the action involves more bullets and explosives (though occasionally fists are used and head butts are dispensed). The action is ultra-violent at times, but Orphan X also has a heart.
Thanks to Amazon Vine for an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.
