Publisher's summary

This program is read by multi-award-winning narrator Scott Brick.

"Brick employs perfect timing and emphasis to portray Evan and plays him with heart...Brick shines in long passages of exposition, setting up the stakes with deft talent, and quickly shifts into periodic high action."—AudioFile

"Gregg brings the series to life with his written word, so does Scott Brick with his narration. Scott’s impeccable timing and ability to seamlessly flow from one character to another bringing Evan and all the characters to life while keeping the audience breathlessly waiting for the next scene to unfold is simply masterful."—The Reading Frenzy

Once a black ops government assassin known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak left the Program, went deep underground, and reinvented himself as someone who will go anywhere and risk everything to help the truly desperate who have nowhere else to turn. Since then, Evan has fought international crime syndicates and drug cartels, faced down the most powerful people in the world and even brought down a President. Now struggling with an unexpected personal crisis, Evan goes back to the very basics of his mission—and this time, the truly desperate is a little girl who wants him to find her missing dog.

Not his usual mission, and not one Evan embraces with enthusiasm, but this unlikely, tiny job quickly explodes into his biggest mission yet, one that finds him battered between twisted AI technocrat billionaires, a mysterious female assassin who seems a mirror of himself, and personal stakes so gut-wrenching he can scarcely make sense of them.

Evan's mission pushes him to his limit—he must find and take down the assassin known only as the Wolf, before she succeeds in completing her mission and killing the people who can identify her—a teenaged daughter of her last target, and Evan himself. Matched skill for skill, instinct for instinct, Evan must outwit an opponent who will literally stop at nothing if he is to survive.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Critic reviews

"The series has always been a blend of Batman, the Equalizer, and Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Lone Wolf reinforces why it continues to be great nine novels in. Newcomers to Evan's adventures should feel fine starting here before diving into the others." —First Clue

"Another crackling caper for the solitary Orphan X." —Kirkus Reviews

"Lone Wolf is a crushingly brilliant piece of fiction." —Best Thriller Books

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO GOOD!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t say many books are worth waiting a year for but this one was…and then some!! I listen to so many books, about a book a day, and the Orphan X series and this book in particular are at the tippy top of my list. In addition to Gregg Hurwitz masterful writing skills and humor, Scott Brick brings it all together and brings it all to life. I dont know what these books would be like to actually read myself and I don’t want to know because nothing in my head would ever be as good as what Scott Brick brings to the table. Better than any movie that’s for sure!

And oh my… the ending!! For the first time ever I went back and listened to particular parts to see what clues I may have missed. It’s going to be a long long year but I’ll be one of the first pre-orders and I honestly can’t wait! Gregg Hurwitz keeps getting better and better and so does Orphan X! (Joey too :)

Everything I hoped for

I love the Orphan X books but this one specifically grabbed me. I love the way the author describes things but especially the way he describes emotions that aren't easy to articulate. The writing is just beautiful. I also love the way the humor is fitted in between the action. I love these characters and the world building. It's interesting to see how the MC is unintentionally building a circle of people around him. That's what makes the ending so impactful.

Excellent Book

This was a fun book. I would have liked a little more action and less focus on Evan Smokes’ internal battles. But was necessary to develop a richer relationship with the character. Scott Brick was excellent.

One of the best Orphan X books

Great story all around. Too bad the Wolf was too dangerous to be a love interest for Evan. I would have liked to know more about her. These cliffhanger endings kill me. One of the best Orphan X books.
