The latest New York Times bestselling Orphan X thriller, The Last Orphan, features the return of Evan Smoak at a time when everything is changing and everything is in danger.

He departed with many secrets in his thoughts after breaking with the program and moving deep underground, secrets that the government would stop at nothing to prevent from ever coming to light.

Evan gradually resurfaced on the government's radar after reinventing himself as The Nowhere Man, committed to aiding the most helpless in their hour of need. The government will stop at nothing to get rid of Evan since he represents the threat they see in the majority of the Orphans in the program. Yet, Orphan X has consistently escaped his pursuers by a wide margin.

until he commits a small error...

Now that she is in charge of him, the President makes a deal with Evan: kill a wealthy, powerful guy she claims is too dangerous to be alive, and in exchange, she would let Evan to live. Evan made a promise to only use his powers against people who truly deserve it when he left the Program, though. Now he must choose between his life and his principles in terms of importance.
