About this listen

"Brick devotes attention to every voice…His accents and inflections boost the listening experience.” —AudioFile

No greater friend. No deadlier enemy.


The explosive new novel in the New York Times bestselling Orphan X series is flipping the acclaimed series on its head. Find out why series superfans and new listeners alike are calling it a “knockout” (firstCLUE).

Evan Smoak is a highly trained former government assassin who has survived for years by keeping his circle to a few trusted confidants and a strict code he calls “The Ten Commandments.” But when Evan suddenly finds himself at odds with his oldest friend, all the rules he lives by shatter—and the consequences are murderous.

Tommy Stojack might be Evan's best friend in the world. He’s a gifted gunsmith who has created much of Evan's own weapons and combat gear. But now, he has apparently crossed one of Evan's hardest lines and their argument explodes into open warfare. Now Evan has no choice but to track and face down his only friend.

In the meantime, Tommy has left town in order to honor his own promise to help a dead friend's son. While Tommy is fighting to save the son with everything he’s got, Evan arrives with vengeance in mind.

But as deadly as the former Orphan X is, there is an even more dangerous threat about to arrive on the scene. The only question left is will any of them get out alive.

Critic reviews

"Nemesis is an excellent turning point in the Orphan X series with great story arcs that embrace meaningful and engaging themes distinct to each character and also opens the door for an even rawer and emotionally beaten Evan like you would never expect by the end of the narrative. Hurwitz throws a curveball that will leave you stunned for the better part of a day when you finally reach the end."—Best Thriller Books

Too much trivial relationship interaction. The story lagged a little as it backed into the meat of X’s “mission “.
The narration by Scott Brick, as always, was exceptional.

Too touchy feely

I don’t know exactly all the reasons why I am so enamored with this series, but I was hooked since book one. I actually checked at midnight to see if the book was on audible the day of release because I was so excited. I really enjoyed it because it was Slightly different yet still had so many of the elements I love. It kept me engaged, and I felt the emotions of many of the characters which is really cool. Now I just can’t wait for the next one.!!

Another great one!!

Stunning addition to OrphanX series … lots of good plot points addressing hatred of people of different backgrounds without sounding too simplistic or arrogant … and of course excellent action !!!! 👍🏽

Plot kept me guessing

My favorite series bar none. The character development, the research, insights all in a highly entertaining novel can only be done by a master such as Hurwitz.

How do you write a novel where Orphan X is at odds with Tommy Stojack??? Impossible? No. You do it exactly the way Greg Hurwitz did. I had no idea where this plot would go and the author absolutely delivered the goods. Well done, Mr. Hurwitz. Well done. Scott Brick gives an exceptional performance, especially with so much written from Tommy’s perspective. Can’t wait for the next book.

Best X Yet

I really enjoy this series. The stories are complex enough to keep you very invested but not so outrageous that it aggravates you. The action comes often and is well written but it always has a great set up. It never feels gratuitous. Well done.

Narrator - as usual hyper overdone drama. Detracts from what otherwise is excellent storyline and characters.

Wow! Another great listen. Evan might just be human after all. A masterfully told tale full of suspense and surprise.
