Summary
 '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

Looking for a series to 'really get stuck into' I found this Gregg Hurwitz novel, number 1 in the series. Evan Smoak has some similarities with Jack Reacher.. he helps people who are in trouble.. but Evan lives in a fortress and has loads of 'things', whereas Jack doesn't. Within a couple of chapters I was interested in his life and his routines.. he's a lonely kind of guy, meditates and lives by strong codes. Anyway, I finished the book within three days and can recommend it as a fast moving story that clearly has loads of places to go. Book 2 is now on my list.

The reader, Scott Brick, has really improved lately. He used to drone on and on with not much variation in his voice and as a non-American, I will often choose a book because it doesn't have an American reader. ( Apart from the fabulous George Guidall of course. ). However, in Orphan X Brick's reading is very good.
