Prodigal Son
Forced into retirement, Evan Smoak gets an urgent request for help from someone he didn't even suspect existed. As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new name – The Nowhere Man―and a new mission,…

 Evan Smaok is an orphan. Not just that he doesn’t have any parents, he is an agent in the government Orphan program. He has been pardoned by the President as long as he stays retired. He receives a cryptic telephone call from Argentina from a woman claiming to be his long-lost mother. She wants him to help Andrew Duran, a man that saw something he wasn’t supposed to see.

This is the sixth book in the Orphan X series. Evan reminds me of a combination of the Jason Bourne and James Bond rolled into one. He is a man that just wants a quiet normal life but because of his work, he may never obtain it. The book is fast paced, full of action, and shoot outs. The characters are well developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. There are also flashbacks from Evan’s childhood. I highly recommend this series and look forward to the next installment.
