Very cool and wide-ranging chat about Antihero, narrative, and religion with @pageaujonathan, brilliant icon carver and symbologist who I dedicated this book to!

How often do we invite technology into our lives without understanding it? How often to we agree to "terms and conditions" on a new app without reading them? Had a great time talking about all this -- and The Delivery's creepy premise -- with @AyeshaRascoe on @NPRWeekend. https://t.co/mc8fZ0OZIx

Is there anything better than Jennifer Hudson singing the Star Spangled Banner to open the World Cup in front of our military and pd color guard?

@pensandpoison What's your favorite translation?

[Gregg Hurwitz @GreggHurwitz]

"The horror in The Delivery is not ‘what if an AI companion existed’ — it's ‘what if an AI companion took your stated desires literally and without moral constraint.... Reviewers have compared Hurwitz's novella to an episode of Black Mirror, but the comparison undersells it. Black Mirror is cautionary; The Delivery is diagnostic. The family in the book does not discover a problem with futuristic technology. They discover a problem with what they wanted."

A thoughtful review from @techtimes.

Get ready for Orphan X's most dangerous mission yet.

Do you need my help?

Those five words are the first thing anyone hears when they dial the encrypted line of the man known only as the Nowhere Man.

For years Evan Smoak—once the government’s deadliest black-ops assassin, Orphan X—has answered that call. The number passes in whispers from one desperate soul to the next: people with nowhere else to turn, facing threats no one else can stop. He takes the job, he finishes it, he vanishes. No trace. No thanks. No mercy for those who deserve none.

But this life has carved deep grooves. Every mission costs him another piece of normalcy, another chance at a future. Now Evan stands at a turning point, weighing the toll of the impossible against the humanity he’s never known how to embrace. Then Brooke Hawthorne dials the number.

A young woman held captive, forced into a scheme so dark it nearly defies belief. The men guarding her are professionals; the operation behind them is worse. Getting Brooke out is only the beginning.

Because the moment Evan moves, he draws the eye of “Boz”—the cold, meticulous architect pulling every string. A man who has spent years building something monstrous, and who views the Nowhere Man as an unacceptable threat.

Boz does not tolerate threats.

To protect Brooke, to shield the handful of people he’s allowed himself to care about, and to preserve the thin line of justice he still believes in, Evan will have to do what he does best. Because when the Nowhere Man answers the call, there is no half-measure. There is only the mission.

And this time, the mission is everything.

Coming early 2026.

What a great Fourth of July weekend on Flathead Lake with Mark Sullivan and @csullivanbooks celebrating America's 250th birthday. It's been the ultimate gift for me as a writer to have been born in a country that entrusts its citizens with the freedom to think, speak, disagree, read, argue, negotiate, and create. I hope your holiday was spectacular.

Great list from @screenrant of thrillers that measure up to Reacher. Cool to see Orphan X on the list with some of his favorite partners in crime.

Thrilled to see that THE DELIVERY is resonating with readers. There’s nothing better!

Big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review and spread the word.

A hardcore Foolkiller fan got tatts from my Marvel run on both arms. Writing for Marvel MAX years ago was an absolute dream. Huge highlight was taking over Punisher for the next run after the great Garth Ennis.

The Delivery has arrived.

It promises to solve so many of your problems.

It will know you so, so well.

Just one catch.

You have to invite it in.

Take a peek behind the novella.

The Antihero Meets Christianity - with Gregg Hurwitz (link below)

In this conversation I speak with Gregg Hurwitz about his new Orphan X novel, Antihero, and the surprising role Orthodox Christianity plays in the story. We discuss the assassin who is forced to face mercy, the limits of violence, the exhaustion of modern storytelling, and why we may need a new kind of hero, one who can hold together justice, sacrifice, and humanity.

[Gregg Hurwitz @GreggHurwitz]

THE DELIVERY is here at last.

But you have to open the door to it.

You have to invite it in.

I promise, it'll be the scariest delivery you've ever received

After the World Cup opener in Doha four years ago, I was thrilled to be in Los Angeles for the first American kickoff. Our team was crisp and dominant. What a great game it was.
