About this listen

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)

The story is great. I really struggled with the narrator though. He seemed to dramafy everything. Long pauses and just too much ergency and mrnace in his voice. It let the book down.

Great story. Not so great narration.

It’s something different and kept me engaged. Liked the twists and turns. Not far fetched or unbelievable. Would like to read a follow up.

Really liked it

Even better the 2nd time! I first read (listened via Audible) to this book in 2000 and thought it was so impressive I went on to devour all 8 books in the series. I thought I'd read it again after rediscovering it in my library. Wow, what a read (listen), probably more impressed than the first time! Scott Brick is also a fabulous narrater who brings the story to life.
Definitely worth a read (listen).

Wow! Even better the 2nd time!

new to audible. love having a free book to listen to in a series . gives you a thirst for the next book to purchase and gives you something to listen to while you wait for your credit to roll over . you can kind of tell what the story is about from the book cover and the synopsis . go in with no expectations and knowing little about the story is the best way to approach it. no spoilers just get into it .

great story. great delivery by the narrator
