Orphan X

[andy-hughes]

Is anyone else a fan of the Orphan X series?

I found them when the second one was just out, and I have devoured them on issue from then until now.

I am part way through re-reading from the first one, so I can savour the latest edition when I can get hold of it.

They really are the best thrillers I have ever read, and I have read a serious amount!

There must be a film option to be swung into action here - mabe they can get Jason Statham to play X.

Anyone else hooked?

There's theoretically a TV series on its way.  It was announced back in 2018 but I'm guessing that Covid got in way of its production:

The plotlines look far too unbelievable to me but I often struggle with major movie series, such as the Jason Bourne ones (which I simply can't relate to and can't understand why anyone would want to watch them):

It's much easier to develop really intricate characters, relationships, and situations in novels, than it is on screen, but hopefully they can get it right.

We'll see ...

presumably the lead role will be taken by Elon Musk?
