The first reviews are in for The Orphan Uprising, our third novel in The Orphan Trilogy, and they are real doozies! All 5-star reviews.

It’s early days yet, but the reviews confirm our belief this is a worthy finale to the series.

Here’s a sample of what reviewers are saying about The Orphan Uprising on Amazon:

Nine’s caught in a living nightmare. Instead of being present for the impending birth of his second child, he’s on a mission to find his firstborn. The Omega Agency has found his family…When the remaining Orphans are deprogrammed all hell breaks loose. The Law and Order like twists keep you on the edge of your seat. An extreme roller coaster ride of emotions awaits the reader. You won’t be able to put it down. –Examiner.com reviewer Wandalyn Thomas

Nine’s persona is fully realized in this sequel and there are unexpected character developments within the ranks of the other orphans that turned out to be very touching…This trilogy was just plain well worth the read. I was glad to find out that this book was ready and I was able to get closure about the orphans as the table turns on Omega Corporation. -Amazon book reviewer Kim Rhym

The books contained in this trilogy are great reads that requires one to re-discipline one’s self because once one starts reading anyone of the trilogies, it cannot be put down…you will not be able to put this book down until you finish it…That is how addictive and enjoyable this book is. It is truly a triller! –Amazon book reviewer Oluremilekun Cole

Happy reading! -Lance & James

Here’s what Susan M. Heim, acclaimed American author and editor of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul books, has to say on her ‘Susan Heim on Writing’ blog about our new release thriller The Orphan Uprising (The Orphan Trilogy, #3)…

 

The Third Book in The Orphan Trilogy Has Been Published!

Back in November, I told you about an exciting thriller by James and Lance Morcan — The Ninth Orphan. (CLICK HERE to see my review.) So, I was pleased to hear that The Orphan Uprising, the third book in The Orphan Trilogy, has just been released as a Kindle eBook on Amazon, courtesy of Sterling Gate Books.
About this book: In this explosive conclusion to The Orphan Trilogy, the ninth-born orphan’s dramatic story resumes five years after book one, The Ninth Orphan, ends. Having eluded his former masters at the Omega Agency and escaped his past life as an operative, Nine has married his soul mate, Isabelle. They’ve carved out a new life for themselves, off the grid, in the remote islands of French Polynesia. The contented couple has a five-year-old son, Francis, who is a chip off the old block and who has inherited his father’s unique DNA. Francis will soon have a sister as Isabelle is about to give birth to a baby girl. Their idyllic lifestyle is shattered when Francis is abducted by operatives in the employ of the Omega Agency, the shadowy organization that brought Nine into the world and once controlled every aspect of his life. The terrified boy with the unique DNA is dispatched to one of Omega’s underground medical laboratories for scientific testing and experimentation. Nine is desperate to find Francis before Omega can harm him. He soon finds he’s up against his fellow orphans — all elite operatives as he once was — who are under orders to kill him on sight. To overcome them, he must call on all his former training and skills. His search takes him around the world — from Tahiti to America, Germany, Greenland and the Congo. To add to Nine’s worries, he has a serious heart condition that requires immediate surgery. The clock is ticking and he knows he’s on borrowed time. It’s a race against the clock to find his son before Omega can harm the boy — and before his heart gives out.
Written by father-and-son writing team Lance and James Morcan (authors of The Ninth Orphan, The Orphan Factory and Fiji: A Novel), The Orphan Uprising is the third book in The Orphan Trilogy. A feature film adaptation of The Ninth Orphan is currently being developed.

The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2)

Book two in The Orphan Trilogy is averaging 4.6 out of 5 stars with Amazon reviewers, and its continued popularity is setting the scene nicely for this month’s release of book three, The Orphan Uprising.

The Orphan Factory is the prequel to book one, The Ninth Orphan, while The Orphan Uprising is the sequel. (Confusing, isn’t it!).

Here’s a selection of reviewers’ comments about The Orphan Factory:

***** I found this book to be even better than the first. The escapades of Nine as a new teenager, away from the structure of the orphanage, are interesting and completely believable. -c9c Reviews

***** Buckle up. Dangerous road…Black ice and black ops perhaps have a lot in common. You don’t see’em coming until you spin out. -Remy Benoit, historian/humanitarian/author.

***** I am so glad that the authors thought to go back and answer the questions that came up when reading the Ninth Orphan. This book was awesome. -Kim Rhym, book reviewer.

***** Buckle up for another wild ride in the Orphan Trilogy. -Wandalyn Thomas, reviewer for Examiner.com

***** Phenominal series. I loved this book and this series has me hooked. -John Winstead, book reviewer.

***** As soon as I’d finished it I wanted to go back and read the previous book…I’m liking the fact this is part of a trilogy – I want more!!!!! –Larissa Bilyard, book reviewer.

***** The authors have created what hopefully will be a long running series with readers worldwide asking when the next volume is due off the press. -Alice M. Dinizo, book reviewer.

***** This book is the perfect complement to the first faced paced thriller…Awaiting eagerly for the next instalment. -Amanda Phillips, reviewer/film director.

And here’s a 4-star review we kinda like…

**** The Morcan’s take us to Chicago, Ill., on a journey with 23 genetically altered children and the organization bent on creating the world’s most elite stable of espionage operatives…a suspenseful story that engages the reader. -Tom Clementson, The Kindle Book Review reviewer.

The Orphan Uprising, book three in our international thriller series The Orphan Trilogy, will be released in January, 2013.

A sequel to book one, The Ninth Orphan, it follows the prequel/book two, The Orphan Factory. Both those novels continue to attract stellar reviews and feature in Amazon’s top rated lists in their respective categories incl. Technothrillers etc. (They also rank highly in the prestigious literary site, Goodreads).

The Orphan Uprising storyline resumes five years after The Ninth Orphan ends. Our hero, Nine – Sebastian Hannar, the ninth-born orphan – has married his one true love and they have a beautiful son, Francis. The boy has inherited Nine’s unique DNA. When the shadowy Omega Agency abducts Francis and sends him to one of their underground medical laboratories for scientific testing and experimentation, Nine is forced to come out of retirement to find and rescue him. What follows is a hunt that takes him around the world – from Tahiti to America, Germany, Greenland, Zambia and the Congo – and brings him into violent conflict with his fellow orphans, all elite Omega operatives. As well as being up against the mighty Omega Agency, Nine is battling a serious heart condition and so is on borrowed time. It’s a race against the clock to find his son before Omega can harm the boy – and before his heart gives out.

Let me recommend books one and two in The Orphan Trilogy. They are available through Amazon. Click on the book covers below to read the first few chapters at no charge:

Excellent – Superbly Done – Action Packed – Suspenseful and Thrilling That says it all for The Orphan Factory.

Wed Nov 7, 2012 3:41am EST:

In the wake of the US presidential elections it is suggested that bitter partisanship would likely remain very much alive in Washington in the new year. Reuters reports the elections also revealed that there was no broad mandate for much beyond the broadly shared goals of improving the economy and reducing government debt.

The report continues:

That means that undertaking bold new initiatives comparable to healthcare reform, financial regulation and economic stimulus programs will be a great deal more complicated for Obama 2012 than they were for Obama 2008.

Even so, Obama – now unfettered by not having to face voters again – is in position to pursue an ambitious agenda that could leave his mark on government for a generation or longer, including a move to revamp the nation’s immigration laws…

…Political analysts and strategists expect Obama’s second-term agenda to be layered with increased federal spending for education, job and energy programs.

But such an agenda will be complicated by the government’s $16 trillion debt and the looming “fiscal cliff” – a $600 billion tax increase scheduled to take effect along with mandatory spending cuts at the start of the new year unless Obama and Congress can agree on a deficit reduction deal.

However, the question remains: Does the election result really matter? Has a US election result mattered since the Kennedy era?

We attempt to answer these questions in our international thriller novels, The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1), and The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2) and shed some light on who wields the real power in today’s world…
