I enjoyed this book, I'll probably read more as they come out (the dust jacket on Goodreads implies it's the first in a series). Overall solid thriller, probably great for a summer beach read.

I'm not really looking forward to the film or prestige tv series it will inevitably become, but happy to be proven wrong.

Intentional or not, Orphan X owes a huge debt to Shibumi - if you enjoy this, you'll almost certainly enjoy that! This story lacks some of the humor and tongue-in-cheek quality of Shibumi, but it explores some of the same themes.

I felt a little misled by some reviews, expecting a stiffer, more self-indulgent, formulaic story. It had a couple of good surprises, and was more thoughtful than overt.
