Virtual Talk: The Thrill of Writing Action, Adventure, and Suspense: A Conversation with Bestselling Author Gregg Hurwitz Online
This is a virtual author talk. Please register here for the link.
Do you crave high-stakes adventure and heart-pounding suspense? Get ready for an electrifying conversation with New York Times bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz as he takes us inside the world of Orphan X and his life as a master of thriller fiction.
It all begins with Orphan X, where readers meet the legendary Nowhere Man—a figure whispered about in secret, known only to those in desperate need. When all hope is lost, he is the one who can make the impossible possible.
But he is no myth.
Evan Smoak was taken from a group home at twelve and trained as part of the clandestine Orphan Program, a top-secret initiative designed to create elite intelligence operatives—assassins with no ties, no past, and no identity. As Orphan X, Evan mastered every skill necessary to survive. But when he broke free from the Program, he reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, using his formidable abilities to help those with nowhere else to turn.
Now, ten books into the series, fans can’t get enough of Evan’s relentless mission for justice—and Hurwitz can’t wait to dive into the world he’s built.
