Dark Horse: The pulse-racing Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

There are some fantastic characters introduced in this book, especially Aragon Urrea whom Evan is enlisted to help. He benevolently supplies legitimate employment and aid to the helpless, while meting out justice to the cruel and malevolent. If you are the publisher or author and feel that they do not properly reflect the range of media opinion now available, send us a message with the mainstream reviews that you would like to see added. So far, I've read books 2, 4, 6 and 7 and the only major complaint I have is that the events in the four books occur roughly within the same year and despite being sometimes severely wounded, our hero never needs time to heal nor do we get to see him actually receive medical treatment. So one of the illegals clues in to what X is all about and is thinking of Aragon and how he needs help.

She happens to be the daughter of a man who lives outside the law—drug trafficking and that sort of thing. The singer mopped his forehead with a hanky, nodded to his compatriots, and the band struck up a Norteño number. Gregg Andrew Hurwitz is one of my all-time favourite authors and I loved this 7th book in his "Orphan X" series! I don't think that particular aspect is necessary to keep the story interesting, but I'm happy to see where Hurwitz will go with it.Either way, I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment to see where Hurwitz takes Evan and us along for the ride.

And while money is no object, Evan soon realises that his prospective client's past is as clouded and compromised as his own.

I love Evan and I love watching him grow as a character and seeing how all of his relationships develop. Facing his daughter across the dance floor, Aragón held out a hand, and his body man, Eduardo Gómez, materialized out of thin air to place a flute of Cristal in his palm. Joey and Peter - the 9-year-old son of Evan's neighbor Mia Hall - are in Velcro suits, throwing themselves against the jumping wall. She was curled into her mother’s side, feet drawn beneath her, her face pressed to the ledge of her mother’s bosom. He was one of the few Orphans with an actual conscience, and once out, found himself with a lot of time on his hands and a unique skill set.

He went by “Kiki,” which, on top of his partnership with Eduardo, had saddled him with the inevitable sobriquet “Special K. Any "Author Information" displayed below reflects the author's biography at the time this particular book was published. The light of Aragon's eyes, his beautiful, beloved 18 year old daughter, Anjelina, was abducted at her birthday party. This was part of a clandestine black ops “Orphan Program” created by the Department of Defense, creating a cadre of assassins of unparalleled abilities that were both deniable and expendable. Kiki held his head tilted back as always, either in an assumed air of righteousness or to smooth out the rolls of his chin.At the tiny movement, the lead singer stopped in mid-chorus, the music severed with guillotine finality. In the background (to balance out the fast-paced action) Evan’s continuing to grapple with his increasing humanity. BookBrowse seeks out and recommends the best in contemporary fiction and nonfiction—books that not only engage and entertain but also deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. He’s learning how to be in relationships with people, especially Mia Hall and her 10-year old son Peter, as well as his ward Joey. This was not my favorite installment in the series, yet it still earns a full four stars which should say something about the series as a whole.
