As a massive fan of the Orphan X series. I couldn't wait to see how Evan Smoak, the Nowhere Man, copes with his forced retirement resulting from a deal with the U.S. President where he agrees to cease accepting calls for help as the Nowhere Man in exchange for being allowed to live without constant threats.

As he settles into a semblance of a normal existence, he receives a series of phone calls from someone claiming to be his mother. This sixth book in the series continues to ratchet up the action and the page turning thrills that we have come to expect while adding more of the backstory of his life in the foster home before being accepted into the Orphan Program, an off the books assassin training for the government. Additionally Evan comes slowly to the realization of the cost of the training to his humanity and perhaps the vulnerability of relationships is worth the cost.

But wow! What a cliffhanger, now I don't know how I can wait for the next book. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
