**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**
