Hurwitz, Gregg.\u00a0Antihero<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>(Orphan X #11). February 10, 2026. 416 pages. Minotaur.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The search for a missing young woman forces Evan Smoak, also known as the Nowhere Man or Orphan X, into a rabbit hole of dark depravity. Is he strong enough to escape? Teaming up with those he can trust most, Evan learns that the woman had a seizure on a subway train and was kidnapped by a gang that specializes in making content for an adult entertainment site. After Evan finds her and gets her medical help, she wants justice, but also wants Evan to promise that he will not kill the gang members. Promising not to put them into the ground goes against his instincts and training, but he agrees. As he pursues the gang, he also has to battle himself to balance the mix of craving violence to achieve his goals and the need to be a human with a handle on his emotions. Who knew caring could be so difficult? Hurwitz does a terrific job maintaining the fast pace while exploring the people that Evan loves and the brutal world he inhabits. This is the perfect place to start for newcomers to the series, while fans will eagerly want to see what happens next. Hurwitz and his antihero get better with each book.<\/strong><\/p>\n
