I have read the whole series and have enjoyed each book immensely, but this one is my absolute favourite!

A billionaire who has excelled at “trading power for more power,” Devine has an unprecedented amount of reach, and anyone who has that kind of leverage over politicians of the highest power—including two who could sway the vote on a trillion-dollar environmental bill—is a direct threat to the president.The last survivor of the off-the-books programme that raised and trained him, Evan Smoak was sent around the world to do his government's dirty work. S. territories just before one of the most turbulent times in history, The Last Orphan explores the complexity of family, relationships, race, and religion in a personal, heartbreaking tale.

There are a couple of monuments where the massacre happened, one of which lists the names of all of those who were brutally murdered, and at the end of the list the monument states "at least one other survivor remained in Utah. And the fourth man sported glasses with solid titanium frames, ideal for denting the delicate flesh around the eye sockets.We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Yes, they many have practiced polygamy at that time, but it wasn't as common a practice as this book represents. Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. 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.

On the one hand, he’s a simple man who lives by a code, which helps him survive and thrive off grid. Now the president has him in her control and offers Evan a deal—eliminate a rich, powerful man she says is too dangerous to live and, in turn, she’ll let Evan survive. This is another great Orphan X novel, filled with dramatic moments, fights, shootouts, and witty writing that we have come to love in this series. Were it not for Jack Johns, Evan’s handler and father figure, the Program would likely have been successful in extinguishing his humanity. Now once again in need of his particular skill-set, the President tracks him down and offers him a deal: kill a man she deems too dangerous or be executed himself .Interesting story about a little boy that was orphaned in a wagon attack in the Utah territory right before the Civil War.
