Antihero

An Orphan X Novel

De: Gregg Hurwitz

Narrado por: Scott Brick

In the next book in this New York Times best-selling series, Evan Smoak takes on his most complex mission yet―one where he not only has to protect but also avenge, and find a way to balance vengeance with mercy.

Once a black ops assassin for the government known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak broke with the program and went deep underground, using his operational rules and skills to help the truly desperate with nowhere else to turn.

When Luke Devine, one of the most powerful men in the world, has a psychological crisis, Evan flies to the East Coast to help him. While there, he learns of a young woman who was kidnapped off the New York City subway, clearly in danger and in need of aid. With no name and few clues, Evan and his team track down the missing woman, who was assaulted and abandoned. Evan offers his help―and sets out finding the young men responsible. But the woman insists that Evan abandon his usual methods―no vengeance and, in particular, no killing. Which will prove no easy feat given the mounting incoming threats from all sides. In a mission that takes Evan from coast to coast, from the poorest corners of society to the richest, Orphan X must figure out a way to protect the innocent, avenge the victimized, and balance justice with a measure of mercy.

Keeps getting better and better

It is rare for me to find an author who creates a series that not only doesn’t fizzle out after the second or third book, but actually gets better and more intriguing as it continues. also,
I have grown to care for and appreciate the characters and their various relationships, as well as their witty repartée. Scott Brick, as usual, does an entertaining and spot-on performance. I heartily recommend this book and The whole series.

Great character development!

I love the story line and every book builds on all of the characters. Absolutely a great t
read and the audio is narrated tomartch the book. Well done!

Great story-disappointed by the one sided political jabs

I really enjoyed this story and the growth in the characters was beautiful. I was disappointed by the author making one sided political jabs and they did not help the story in any way- felt childish and unnecessary,

once again sad it is over

I love these books. I'm always very sad when the book is over. I hope Evan doesn't become to touchy feely. If you are a fan here is another adventure you'll have fun going on

X gets more and more complicated

I think this is the best x book yet. Although I say that after every new book.
