About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

As a child, Evan Smoak was plucked out of a group home, raised and trained as an off-the-books assassin for the government as part of the Orphan program. When he broke with the program and went deep underground, he left with a lot of secrets in his head that the government would do anything to make sure never got out.

When he remade himself as The Nowhere Man, dedicated to helping the most desperate in their times of trouble, Evan found himself slowly back on the government's radar. Having eliminated most of the Orphans in the program, the government will stop at nothing to eliminate the threat they see in Evan. But Orphan X has always been several steps ahead of his pursuers.

Until he makes one little mistake...

Now the President has him in her control and offers Evan a deal - eliminate a rich, powerful man she says is too dangerous to live and, in turn, she'll let Evan survive. But when Evan left the Program he swore to only use his skills against those who really deserve it. Now he has to decide what's more important - his principles or his life.

Delightful

It’s sometimes whacky & soulful, sometimes introspective. It’s sometimes kind & sometimes ruthless, but always action packed. The interaction between X, Josephine & Dog is delightful. Candy is intriguing, a definite partner in the making, I hope. Can’t wait for the next one, I’m going to listen again to wring every nuance out of the story.

best one in the series

Last year I remember thinking that Book 7 was the best in the series. This year I think it is book 8. These series just keeps getting better. I just wonder how is this possible every time.
Scott Brick and Gregg Hurwitz collaboration is a home run. I read the reviews about Candy. I definately agree things are a lot more fun when she is around. But I have to say Tommy character is just as good and even better.
Why wouldnt they make the TV series and who should play Orphan X. I would love to (hahaha). If it ever comes out Scott Brick should be the voice of Tommy. One line about the negative review I read about him; the man is successful, he is great at what he does, he probably made a lot of money from narrating. So? All well deserved. haters hate get over it :)
Thank you mr Hurwitz for dreaming of this character.
