Do you love action-packed adventure? Are you ready for a thrill? You’re invited to a riveting conversation with New York Times bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz as he chats with us about his "Orphan X" series and his life as a writer of suspenseful storytelling.

"Orphan X," the series opener, introduces the world to the Nowhere Man. He 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.

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He’s also a man with a dangerous past. Taken from a group home at 12, Evan was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, an off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets — i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man.

Now ten books in, fans cannot get enough of the "Orphan X" world and Hurwitz can’t wait to tell you all about it!
