The stars and planets aligned to land Lone Wolf by Gregg Hurwitz in my hot little hands. A month or so ago I noted that the author, screenwriter and (Marvel & DC) comic writer has a new novel in the Orphan X series coming out in early 2025 and amazingly it appeared on a new release list here in Australia. His last few have not so I’d missed them, so after putting in my request (I hope will be granted… *batters eyelashes at Penguin Books Australia*) I decided to catch up on the two I’d missed. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find his books at any local department stores so in desperation so I bought the next in the series I’d missed, The Last Orphan online (!!!), reading it immediately before hunting down the one remaining book I’d missed, Lone Wolf. Thinking I’d have to cave and (again) order a copy from that online mass stockist I meandered into the local second hand bookstore in my little seaside village and there it lay…. pre-loved and ready for its second life. I was gobsmacked – also that there’s potentially another Hurwitz fan here in my hometown of Hervey Bay. And that, dear folks is my very long intro as to how I got hold of this book. (And yes, I’m as bad as those food bloggers who share their life story before the recipe! 😉 )
