Noah Smoke was taken form an orphanage at a young age and trained to be a world-class assassin.  Now, he uses his skills to help people that are situations they can't get out of on their own. The Orphan Program is an off-the-book, black ops clandestine assassin program designed to create the perfect intelligence assets.  Even leaves/escapes the program and uses everything he has learned to disappear.  But now. someone is hunting him; they have similar skills and training and exploits Evan's secret identity to eliminate him. This story was Jason Bourne meets Hitman, so if you find those things interesting or entertaining, then this may suit you.  I am definitely interested in reading the rest of this series. I gave this book a solid 3.8 stars.
