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

As a boy Evan Smoak was taken from an orphanage. Raised and trained in a top secret programme, he was sent to bad places to do things the government denied ever happened. Then he broke with the programme, using what he'd learned to vanish. Now he helps the desperate and deserving. But someone's on his trail. Someone who knows his past and believes that the boy once known as Orphan X must die .

“Outstanding in every way.” 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

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

Exciting story, well performed. A new action hero. I intend to continue listening to the series.

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!
