This is the third book in the Orphan X series and the best one yet. It is a perfect recommendation for Lee Child or Vince Flynn fans or thriller fans in general. This book is great entertainment and I loved it.

I absolutely LOVE the Orphan X series, and this is no exception. I truly miss a couple of central characters who are no longer a part of the overall cast, but Orphan X himself was enough to keep this latest offering in the upper echelons of the murder / mystery genre. In this offering, the main character picks up, unwillingly, a 16-yr-old computer whiz sidekick (racking up demerits for a much-overused theme), and together they take off on a typical Orphan X adventure. Recommended, but it's not the best in the series.

While I thank the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of Hellbent, I must confess that the novelty of Orphan X/Nowhere Man has worn off. The endless battles of Hellbent seem tedious, especially as there can be no doubt how things will ultimately turnout. In Hellbent we learn who is the mastermind ordering the extinction of Orphan X, and, frankly, that identity seems ludicrous. I know that there will be many fans happy to see new Orphan X adventures, but sadly, for me, the end of the Orphan road is here. Mr. Hurwitz wrote some really good novels before this series. I hope to see more of those.
