About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Get Prodigal Son, the thrilling new Orphan X book from best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz.
He can escape anything. Except his own past....
'Evan. It's your mother. I heard you help people....'
Evan Smoak used to be known as Orphan X: a figure as elusive as a rumour, until he came to the rescue of those who most desperately needed his help. The kind of help no one else could provide. The kind that caused concern in the corridors of power.
As a boy he'd been plucked from a foster home and trained as an off-the-books assassin inside a top secret US government programme.
Which is why, even forced into early retirement, he dare not trust the phone call. Nor the caller claiming to be his mother. Asking him to protect a complete stranger who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
None of it stacks up. Yet it bears the tell-tale signs of the secret world that made him. And from inside it, a deadly new threat to the nation's security.
But this time the danger is more personal than he could have ever imagined. Because blood runs deep....

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.

Matthew Riker keeps to himself, doesn't cause trouble, and never talks about his past. But after a chance encounter with a woman and a small child on the run, Riker will have to make a choice: use his hard-won skills to protect two innocent victims, or stay in the safety of his quiet life. What follows is an adrenaline-soaked thrill ride that will take Riker on a cross-country chase, through the seedy underbelly of a New York criminal empire, and into the darkest places of the human heart.

well below usual standards
too much angst, too much back story about characters nobody cares about.
I liken it to recent James Bond movies, just too much "caring"

Interesting story, astonishing ending
Spoiler alert:
I cannot believe the ending of this book. For 6 books now we've followed Evan, trying to be a human, craving companionship and relationships. Finally he finds his only relatives in the world, and then leaves them in a crappy house in a dreadful neighborhood and doesn't share any of his millions with them. I couldn't believe it, what was Gregg Hurwitz thinking??? It's possible something happens in the next book, but most of them tie up quite neatly at the end. Evan is looking for responsibility and he now has 3 people/families that he could connect with and make a life, but he chooses to keep "working". It's the way to keep the franchise going, but sometimes you need to know when to stop. Ultimately unsatisfying and unbelievable.
