Into the Fire: An Orphan X Novel by Gregg Hurwitz

5.0

Into the Fire by Gregg Hurwitz is about Evan Smoak (Orphan X) who is an ex black ops government asset. He left the program is now known as the “Nowhere man” helping people who are in desperate need, all he asks is they pass on his number to someone else who needs help. This is an action packed booked, and the 5th one in the series. I’ve never read any of them till this one and it was easy to read it and keep up with what was going on. I definitely like the feel of this book and how it keeps you on your toes. There is a bit of romance installed in the action but nothing that takes away from the characters. Evan also has his own personal hacker who I enjoyed reading.


Max is definitely an interesting character with everything in his life turning upside down and feeling worthless to his family hits some notes. When his cousin and someone else he knows gets killed he’s now on the run from someone but no clue as to who, and that’s when Evan Smoak (Nowhere man) comes in. It looks like an easy job but there are so many layers that Smoak has to pull back and look at to see what all is going on.


Hurwitz does an excellent job at keeping everyone’s attention and to continue reading on trying to figure out what all is going on, if Smoak is going to win and can everyone get out alive? The book flows smoothly with the writing and keeps you entertained. Even when it feels getting a repeat with how many people Smoak has to take out, Hurwitz keeps you wanting more till everything is wrapped up nicely.
