Sunday Times No.1 bestselling hero Orphan X is back with a bang in his biggest adventure yet. ‘Pure nail-biting stay-up-all-night suspense’ Harlan Coben

The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It’s said that when he’s reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them.

But he’s not merely a legend.

Taken from a foster home as a boy, Evan Smoak was raised and trained to be an off-the-books government assassin code-named Orphan X. Now free from the programme, he uses his skills to help those with nowhere else to turn.

Praise for Antihero

Laughs as well as action. A thriller that makes the Jack Reacher books look quaint

Sun

[Hurwitz] is a weapon of mass entertainment and the action never stops

The Express

First-rate and deftly varied combat scenes. Rewardingly, it's more plugged into the mood and issues of the present than a Lee Child slugathon

The Times

Feels like a missile launch

David Baldacci

Outstanding in every way

Lee Child

Weapons-grade thriller writing

The Guardian
