The Orphan Trilogy is an action thriller series co-written by James and Lance Morcan. It follows Number Nine, a young man who was genetically enhanced and raised from infancy by a covert black-ops group called the Omega Agency. Trained as an elite assassin, he begins to question his handlers and eventually goes on the run from the organization that made him.
The Ninth Orphan (2011) introduces Nine and the world of the Omega Agency. The Orphan Factory (2012) fills in his backstory and the program that produced him. The Orphan Uprising (2013) brings the story to a close as Nine takes the fight back to his creators. The series also has a boxed set edition collecting all three novels. With its mix of genetic engineering, government conspiracies, and globe-trotting action, the trilogy sits at the intersection of spy fiction and science fiction.
