Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn.  He is also a man with a dangerous past chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as part of an off the books black box Orphan program, designed to create deniable intelligence, assets, or assassins.


My Thoughts

I wasn't sure if I would be interested in this book, even though it is a mystery.  But I have to say, this book is one of the books that took me a day and a half to read, because it was that good.  This man was trained to be a contract killer and instead of doing that anymore, he decides to become a person who helps people.  But then things happen, and he becomes someone who is hunted.  

As I was reading this, I felt sympathy for Evan, he is alone, and doesn't or can't trust people.  I felt like I was walking his life with him as he tries to help people, and also tries to elude the people who are chasing him.  

This book was action packed, and had a very good story line.  The story line kept me on the edge of my seat!  This book was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this book. This is my honest opinion.
