About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Get Prodigal Son, the thrilling new Orphan X book from best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz.

He can escape anything. Except his own past....

'Evan. It's your mother. I heard you help people....'

Evan Smoak used to be known as Orphan X: a figure as elusive as a rumour, until he came to the rescue of those who most desperately needed his help. The kind of help no one else could provide. The kind that caused concern in the corridors of power.

As a boy he'd been plucked from a foster home and trained as an off-the-books assassin inside a top secret US government programme.

Which is why, even forced into early retirement, he dare not trust the phone call. Nor the caller claiming to be his mother. Asking him to protect a complete stranger who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

None of it stacks up. Yet it bears the tell-tale signs of the secret world that made him. And from inside it, a deadly new threat to the nation's security.

But this time the danger is more personal than he could have ever imagined. Because blood runs deep....

Another well written book, similar to the others but as always well written and worth the read

Another good read

Evan is not quite the island floating in humanity that he usually is, he is collecting an interesting array of people to flesh out his story. The cliff hanger ending is one I’m eager to see resolved in the next book.

Another interesting volume in the NoWhere man legend

Gregg's words and Scott's voice together are a perfect combination, and this is just more proof of that. Evan is amazing as ever, his supporting cast are awesome, the villains kinda fall flat compared to earlier villains but they're worthy of the tale. That ending, though...

Yet another brilliant Orphan X book

No matter how many times I listen to this searies, I find I've learnt something new about the story and character's. Which then gives it a completely new meaning and proper understanding of the direction. Just a great series of books to listen to. The kind of book that makes you visualize it as it snakes along. Love it!!

Over and over

You’re seriously not going to finish the story? You’re going to make us buy a second book for resolution? These books are so predictable and trashy it’s barely worth the single credit.

Seriously, a cliffhanger?
