This is easily the best book in the Orphan X series!

Evan Smoak is one of the biggest badasses in all of the adventure/suspense genre. And this novel is no exception. Smoak (as the Nowhere Man) takes on the baddest of bad guys to help those in desperate need of his assistance. This time he has to balance helping a family avenge a murder versus fulfilling the demands of the President of the United States.

To help Smoak in his quest, many of his wonderful supporting cast members make an appearance. First is Joey, his ward and hacker extraordinaire. She always has the best lines in the books. She is accompanied by her canine companion, Dog. Next are Mia and Peter, his neighbors in his condo building and the family that is just out of his reach. I love the dialogue that Hurwitz writes for Peter ("bologna playdoh"). We can't forget Candy (Orphan V) with her sultry and seductive looks and lethal skills. And the story wouldn't be complete without a visit to Tommy, his provider of specialized weapons, vehicles, and other necessities and wisdom for his jobs and his life.

And as an added benefit, I was provided an ARC audiobook which was narrated by Scott Brick, the contracted voice of Evan Smoak. Brick's narration is always top notch and adds so much life to a novel. And if you haven't done so, make sure to call the Nowhere Man phone number that is used to reach him. It actually works! 855-2NOWHERE (855-266-9437)

A huge thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for an ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review!

THIS WAS THE BEST YET IN THE SERIES!!!!

Thank you so much for my ARC! I loved this and could not put it down. I stayed up too late reading it. I especially enjoyed the return of Candy and Joey. I am so glad GO introduced more characters to this series and brings them in. What I also appreciated was the fresh new take on this story (e.g. someone didn't call the number) and the emotional character progression of X.

The interview at the end was such a treat too! I have always thought Scott Brick IS Orphan X and it was incredible to hear GO had thought of Brick before writing this series. He really is one of the BEST narrators!

OMG I might have to read that again. I can't say enough good things about this story. It's making me want to reread the ENIRE series!
