Orphan X is weapons-grade thriller-writing from a modern master * Guardian * Pure nail-biting stay-up-all-night suspense Orphan X is not good. But it wouldn't work half as well if we didn't feel Evan's pain and share his panic as the worst-case scenario unfolds: another former Orphan, with a less noble agenda, seems to be hunting him. Orphan X is tight and tense in all the right places. However, his meticulously compartmentalised life makes him vulnerable. When the Orphan programme (as it is known) is disbanded, Evan moves to California and devotes himself to good works - taking out a slum-landlord paedophile cop, for example, after his victim calls Evan's special number.
