The goal of the program is to train orphans so they can be assassins for government agencies. The program is shut down but Orphan X maintains access to the program's funding and weapons.In his 30s, Smoak begins freelancing as an assassin, using his skills to fight corruption in the form of vigilante justice. For each person he helps, he tells them to pay it forward by giving someone in need of help his phone number. During his adventures, he discovers that former Orphan agents have also begun freelancing and are trying to assassinate him.ReceptionThe Washington Post compared Orphan X to the beginning of a Bourne like book series, referring to it as a "smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller." Author Robert Crais stated that "a new thriller superstar is born" and novelist David Baldacci was quoted as saying "read this book...you will thank me."
