I won this book on Goodreads and was so grateful. What a great, powerful, riveting story told during the civil war. A fantastic storyline as well as having very likeable characters. I couldn't put it down. I was a little confused by the title as the story jumps around a bit between the character who is the last orphan and other characters. Once I read the afterword the title made more sense. That would be my only thing I would say to other readers is the story isn't all about this last orphan, Thomas, and yet it is. the writing is crisp, the action scenes are both clever and cinematic, the dialogue is pitch perfect, and the villains are deliciously detestable. First-class." — Booklist

Just when I thought the Orphan X novels couldn’t get any better, Gregg Hurwitz takes the series to an even higher level. The Last Orphan is pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, and thought-provoking. I loved it.”—Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author Just when I thought the Orphan X novels couldn’t get any better, Gregg Hurwitz takes the series to an even higher level. The Last Orphan is pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, and thought-provoking. I loved it.” —Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author The plot, overall, was well developed and the pieces fit nicely together to make a good story. The end was not given away, and I appreciated that I did not know for sure with whom the boy would end up until the very end. Giving away that mystery early on would have surely taken the wind out of my sales, so to speak! And I likely would not have finished the book.The bar here in the middle of the desolate nowhere was little more than a sparse wooden structure composed of beams and walls. Well-loved chessboards on tables. A foursome of burly Icelanders in football jerseys. Picture windows overlooking miles of blindingly white tundra. Decorative puffins peeked out from the shelves of bottles. Gregg Hurwitz is the New York Times bestselling author of 15 thrillers, including the upcoming ORPHAN X. His novels have been shortlisted for numerous literary awards, graced top ten lists, and have been translated into 25 languages. A stellar series, and the stories get better with each instalment.
