About this listen

The stunning third Orphan X thriller from number one best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz.

To some he was Orphan X. Others knew him as the Nowhere Man. But to veteran spymaster Jack Johns, he was a boy named Evan Smoak. Taken from an orphanage, Evan was raised inside a top secret programme designed to turn him into a deadly weapon. Jack became his instructor, mentor, teacher and guardian. Because for all the dangerous skills he instilled in his young charge, he also cared for Evan like a son. And now Jack needs Evan’s help. The Orphan programme hid dark secrets. Now those with blood on their hands want every trace of it gone. And they will stop at nothing to make sure that Jack and Evan go with it.

With little time remaining, Jack gives Evan his last assignment: to find and protect the programme's last recruit. And to stay alive long enough to uncover the shocking truth...

With Hellbent, Gregg Hurwitz raises the bar again with another masterclass in big-screen, high-octane thriller writing.

Another great title in the Orphan X series

Another book in this series that can't be put down. Gregg Hurwitz is a master of detail and storyline, with just the right amount of character development that builds familiarity with key players without detracting from the story. The only thing that let this particular book down was the shameless product placement.

Great.

I've finally found a series I enjoy as much as Lee Child's Jack Reacher. Very satisfying.

The Ultimate Anti Hero

Evan Smoake is the Ultimate Anti Hero! This was the best in the "The Nowhere Man"series for me, but it's hard because they're all so different with the common thread of Evan being hunted himself whilst simultaneously fighting for someone "who needs his help" . At times, far fetched in what he survives, but hey... It is a work of fiction. I loved the well thought out strategies and things (people, weapons etc.) employed to carry out his stings.

I would love Evan to be free to be with Mia and Peter somehow, but also respect his commitment to keeping them safe. Please please please make this into a TV series... I think the fight scenes would be spectacular! Such detail in the movements and fighting techniques ... sometimes I would listen again just to get a good visual! I've listened to the whole series twice now and would start it again tomorrow! Thank you Gregg Hurwitz, I will be looking for more of your work for sure!

Brilliant Narrations by Scott Brick! I will be looking for others narrated by him too!

Determination

l enjoyed this book to the extent I would remain in the car, in the carpark under my office, for 5 or so minutes because I didn't want to stop the story.

There is no doubt Evan is clever, determined and lethal. Evan is also now displaying emotion. His internal struggle highlights his training, loyalty and committment. I hope there is another book very soon.
