The Last Orphan: The Thrilling Orphan X Sunday Times Bestseller (An Orphan X Novel)

Product Information

Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival.

Meanwhile, back in Arkansas where Thomas' blood relatives lived, his Grandma Ruby knew in her heart that her Levi (Thomas' given name) was still alive and managed to make arrangements to travel to Utah with the help of a Senator friend to collect her only grandson. The story centers around a few extremely strong women disgusted with how women are treated in this ‘faith’. Now the President has him in her control and offers Evan a deal - eliminate a rich, powerful man she says is too dangerous to live and, in turn, she'll let Evan survive. the writing is crisp, the action scenes are both clever and cinematic, the dialogue is pitch perfect, and the villains are deliciously detestable. One of them is Johnny Seabrook, the other that of a young woman who was raped and had her neck snapped.Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. As it was being poured in front of him, another of the footballers snatched it from beneath the bottle and slammed it. Now the president has him in her control and offers Evan a deal—eliminate a rich, powerful man she says is too dangerous to live and, in turn, she’ll let Evan survive.

But his grandmother believed in her hear that he was still alive and she decided to do what she could to bring him back home. This can be an effective storytelling device, but in this case, waiting for the private investigator heroine to get to where the reader is at the beginning of the story feels interminable. A stand off ensues between Eva and Ruby and Eva's husband who admits the horrific deed that he himself was involved in and Thomas'/Levi's future is determined.

Imperfect men made horrible decisions to do what they did, but we should not judge because we were not there and can't really understand all the decisions that were made.

A couple years after the attack, the family members of the settlers back in Arkansas worked with their politicians to try and see if any of the children survived. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

A child with no parents to care for him, he was trained in weaponry, combat and killing, as well as in how to control his emotions, evade his enemies and survive brutal interrogations.

We pride ourselves on low crime here, but an enterprise was taking advantage of our goodwill, using us as a transport from the EU to North America. Over the last seven books, Evan Smoak has helped those in need while, for the most part, staying off the government’s radar.

When he broke with the program and went deep underground, he left with a lot of secrets in his head that the government would do anything to make sure never got out.
