Summary

Do you need my help?
It was always the first question he asked.
They called him when they had nowhere else to turn.

Raised and trained as part of a top-secret programme, he was sent to the worst places in the world to do things his government denied any knowledge of.

Then he broke with the programme and disappeared. But now someone's on his tail. Someone who knows he was once known simply as Orphan X.

Critic reviews

"Outstanding in every way." (Lee Child)
" Orphan X blows the doors off most thrillers I've read and catapults the readers on a cat-and-mouse that feels like a missile launch. Read this book. You will thank me later." (David Baldacci)
" Orphan X is his best yet-a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller." (Lee Child)

Good premise, pace & writing... definitely more going on and more twists and turns than I expected. Kept me hooked and I'm looking forward to book 2 now!!

Yep, I'll be back for more...

Enjoyed the listen a lot but not a huge amount to differentiate it from other similar stories in the super-hero type genre. Saying that will listen to the next book for sure!

Solid but formulaic

I didn't know if I'd enjoy this as it's not my preferred genre, but once I started I couldn't stop listening. The story kept my attention and is full of intrigue and action involving a secret Organisation and government conspiracies!!?? Evan Smoake is a likeable hero with a mysterious background which hopefully will be explored/explained in future books. Recommended.

I don’t review books but Evan deserves some words

This is not my genre or style of writing but phew what a wonderful book. For the first time in a long time I wondered about him. The writing is wonderful , it’s a great blend of allowing you just enough to be utterly intrigued by Evan. Narration is good , well paced and not overly done , the action scenes - of which there are many have just the right amount of light and shade , a wonderfully well danced duet between by the narrator and writer - the combination you are looking for in an audio book. Personally it is now one of my favourites though I doubt I will revisit it. It’s a blast of a story not a familiar , old friend. Evan is a great hero , the story has enough female leads so as to be interesting and his morality simple and true. It’s not a complicated book but Evan is simple and complex enough to be the hero you want him to be. I’m Late to the party given the publish date - but bravo Gregg. Bravo. What heart you put into this book. I’ve downloaded book 2 already and can only hope it’s not like first albums. That you have saved some for the rest of the books.

Oh Evan
