Out of the Dark

* AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "This novel will be remembered as one of the best thrillers of the year." -Associated Press "A shocking stunner in every way. The perfect thriller." -Robert Crais When darkness closes in-he's your last, best hope. Evan Smoak returns in Gregg Hurwitz's #1 international bestselling Orphan X series in Out of the Dark. Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, an off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets-i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man, a man who helps the truly desperate when no one else can. But now Evan's past is catching up to him. Someone at the very highest level of government has been trying to eliminate every trace of the Orphan Program by killing all the remaining Orphans and their trainers. After Evan's mentor and the only father he ever knew was killed, he decided to strike back. His target is the man who started the Program and who is now the most heavily guarded person in the world: the President of the United States. But President Bennett knows that Orphan X is after him and, using weapons of his own, he's decided to counter-attack. Bennett activates the one man who has the skills and experience to track down and take out Orphan X-the first recruit of the Program, Orphan A. With Evan devoting all his skills, resources, and intelligence to find a way through the layers of security that surround the President, suddenly he also has to protect himself against the deadliest of opponents. It's Orphan vs. Orphan with the future of the country-even the world-on the line.

The Delivery

“A pungent, timely thriller that will leave readers thinking.” —Kirkus Reviews “Eerily plausible and certainly very timely, this relatively short novel packs a heck of a punch. Fans of the Orphan X series or Hurwitz’s earlier standalone novels will thoroughly enjoy this clever, rather twisted, top-flight technothriller from a genre master.” —Booklist “In Gregg Hurwitz’s The Delivery, Silicon Valley is unmasked for its Doppelganger, the uncanny valley. But there is no way back or up and out of these depths. In this lightning-fast Black Mirror of a novella, that literally begins with a new Pandora’s box, Gregg Hurwitz manages to sympathize while lampooning the real anxiety and the harried pace of modern parenting; he gently satirizes the Achilles heel of all parents of means—could it just be a little easier?” —David Duchovny

Orphan X gegen seinen tödlichsten Gegner - die Wölfin Evan Smoak, einst Orphan X - der gefürchtetste Auftragskiller eines geheimen Programms - und heute als 'Nowhere Man' die letzte Hoffnung für Verzweifelte, steht am Wendepunkt: Eine persönliche Krise zwingt ihn zum Rückzug. Doch als seine Nichte Sofia ihn bittet, ihren verschwundenen Hund zu finden, kann er nicht Nein sagen. Was wie ein harmloser Gefallen beginnt, eskaliert zum größten Einsatz seines Lebens. Die Spur führt in die Welt eines zurückgezogen lebenden Tech-Milliardärs, dessen KI-Imperium tief in das Leben von Millionen eingreift - und dessen nächster Schritt unumkehrbare Folgen hätte. Gleichzeitig zieht eine mysteriöse Auftragskillerin - bekannt als die Wölfin - eine blutige Spur. Ihr nächstes Ziel: die Tochter ihres letzten Opfers. Und Evan selbst.

Zwischen einem übermächtigen Tech-Tyrannen, einer mordenden Schattenfigur und einem Mädchen, das alles verlieren könnte, muss Evan Smoak entscheiden, wie weit er zu gehen bereit ist. An seiner Seite: die brillante und furchtlose Joey Morales.  Um die Wölfin zu stoppen, muss Evan das sein, was er nie wieder sein wollte - die tödlichste Waffe des Orphan-Programms. Hochspannung, gnadenlose Action und ein Held, der keine Fehler verzeiht - Einsamer Wolf  ist der Orphan X-Thriller, den Sie nicht verpassen dürfen.

Laughs as well as action. A thriller that makes the Jack Reacher books look quaint
