At an early age, Evan Smoak was taken from a children's home and trained as an assassin, becoming Orphan X. After years of killing on behalf of the government, Evan went off the grid as he stepped away from the program. Now he has become the Nowhere Man, a guy who helps those who can't help themselves.

Now someone is picking off the former orphans and their handlers. President Jonathan Bennett originated the Orphan program when he was part of the Department of Defense. Now he wants it eliminated completely, along with anyone who could point fingers at him. Bennett is the person who had Evan's handler killed. Now he has hired Judd Holt, Orphan A, to eliminate Evan.

This is another fast-paced story in the Orphan X series. Evan must come up with a plan to kill the most protected man in the USA. This takes months of planning, always looking behind his back to see if Orphan A is on his tail. On top of that, a young man has called Evan's phone, asking for his help. Evan must juggle both cases without getting himself killed in the process. My rating: 4 Stars.
