Evan Smoak grew up as part of the Orphan Program. His mentor in the program was Jack Johns who became a father figure to him. When Evan decided to break from the Orphan Program, Jack helped him get out. Now the program is being run by Charles Van Sciver, AKA: Orphan Y. His mission is to eliminate any former orphans, including Evan. To do this, Van Sciver uses Jack to get Evan's attention. Jack has contacted Evan, telling him he is in trouble and that Evan should retrieve "the package". Evan doesn't know what is in this package, but he is willing to do anything for the man who raised him.

This is the third book in the Orphan X series. It is very hard to review without giving away spoilers. Evan teams up with a teen who has a very good reason to help Evan with his fight against Van Sciver. I loved the story. I loved the action. And I worried about how this one would end. This was my favorite in the series so far. My rating: 5 Stars.
