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

Product Information

Because the depth of the characters was really expanded here, and in a direction I loved it to go, I gave this four stars, even though the plot was a little disappointing.

I’m always amazed by Evan’s abilities and his talent to prevail even when it looks like he’s up against a no-win situation! I can say so much that one part of the final chapter has a surprising twist for one of the most powerful people in the world. It's odd to me that it was this very relationship that I was annoyed by in my first, (but what was really the 7th), Orphan X book, that I now love the most.I have a been avid fan of this author and series since the beginning, I read and reviewed the last book in this series and did not like it very much. The "personal growth" of Evan (and Joey) is what really propels the story forward and is essential to keep readers engaged. Add to that the frequent reminders that he lives in a high tech apartment with 'poured concrete' worktops, 'living wall' etc, etc.

We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006). The fully deniable government program was designed to turn him into an expendable weapon who could execute missions illegal under international law. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I like to see this network of independent people forming deeper relationships and depending on each other. Another sported a convenient wrist cast; Evan always liked when a loudmouth came packaged with his own bludgeon. The biggest of the foursome, red-faced and sloppy, smacked the husband on the shoulder, sending him tumbling toward the door.
