The Ninth Orphan is, by far, the best book I have read this year. I had always thought that reading a book from the espionage/spy thriller genre would confuse me with politics I wouldn't understand, but that wasn't the case at all. Omega, A top secret agency, raise twenty-three orphans to be the best spy's the world has ever known. They don't have names: just numbers, and when all the terrible things that come with the job get's to much for number nine he want's to leave the life the Omegans chose for him. Nine knows it won't be easy and is something that's never been done before, but he was trained well, and thinks, with enough planning, he can pull it off and live a normal life.Nine's escape takes him all over the world running from the best Omega has; Kentbridge who was his childhood mentor, trainer and father figure and number Seventeen, his fellow orphan and childhood enemy.Trying to stay one step ahead of them whilst securing a safe future for himself is the hardest thing he has ever had to do. Nine makes a deal with the Japanese that will give him enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but the Omega agency has moles everywhere. They ruin his plans and make it look to the Japanese like Nine has double crossed them, so now he's running from them too. With the odds of him surviving getting higher and more dangerous every minute; will he make it?The Ninth Orphan would make a great film: Nine should be as famous as James Bond and Matthew Bourne. The book was so good I give it four and a half stars out of five. I thoroughly enjoyed every page, and will definitely be reading more from this series Fast paced thriller/suspense. Nine is an orphan one of twenty three. He was trained to be an assassin. When he decides to leave the organization that is when the real action begins. Through many different locations and countries. Nine takes a beautiful French- African Lady hostage. Once the hunter he is now the hunted. Will he stay alive long enough to fulfill his dream. A very intense read. I highly recommend if you enjoy thriller/ suspense stories
