Good read. Hard to imagine someone can be this dangerous yet have such a soft spit for other people. At least the soft spot is for the right ones.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

The book is a well-written thriller with a fresh twist on a old theme: super-talented guy helps the underdog. If you've seen The Equalizer movies, you'll know the general direction . The twist is that the hero is being enthusiastically hunted himself.

There are the occasional odd blunders in the storyline. Example: when a bad guy (in this case, girl) stabs a man in the jugular, an arterial blood spray (author's words) occurs, and almost immediate death happens. The jugular is a vein, not an artery, so there is no arterial spray possible, such as with severing the carotid artery which is much deeper in the neck. And unconsciousness would come a lot later, as the blood supply to the brain is still intact.

Also, a child who is a friend of the hero, and who lives nine stories below him in a high-rise, sends messages up to him by a small balloon. Question: where did an eight-year-old get a pressurized tank of helium?

There are more such mistakes in fact. But the story is fun.

I don't expect much from a book, much like I don't expect much from a movie. I want to be entertained by a quick plot and a satisfying ending. Kinda like fast food. This series of books fits the bill. You are gonna enjoy it want more and luckily there is more. Gregg Hurwitz don't be offended by this review... You've got this girl hooked!

This book is simply excellent. You care about the characters and story. Lots of turns and you never want to put the book down.. I love the quote from Van Sciver.... "It is what it is and that is all that it is". Just a great series and Hurwitz is one of my favorite authors

Evan Smoak Rides Again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Absolutely thrilling book. I sat up all night to finish it and was never once distracted and I enjoyed every chapter. Smoak is a complex character, who is now coming to terms with his previous life as a government assassin.

He is still Orphan X, with all the skills and experience to help others as the Nowhere Man but in this book, we see how he is becoming more human. How, he is developing and changing due to his personal relationships.

His ongoing on/off contact with Mia and Peter develops further but it is his protection of Joey, another orphan, rejected by the programme that trained him, that gives him an added dimension.

We now start to see, what his life might have been or could be in the future. But first, he has to tackle the founder of the Orphan programme - a man who has gone right to the top of the US political system.

The President better watch out as Orphan X is out to bring him to justice. I can’t wait to read about that in Gregg Hurwitz next book about Evan Smoak and those he fights to defend.

Great Book, Great Character, Great Pace and Good Story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

A Great author, A great Character, great book, again so nearly a five star.

They called him Orphan X, Evan Smoak, The Nowhere Man he used to be a government secret weapon.

Then he ran and became the man you call on when you've nowhere else to turn too, The Nowhere Man.

This time it's a teenage runaway called Joey.

Like Evan she's no innocent: she was brought up inside the same programme that raised him.

Now Evan must find Joey before those hunting her do.

Which is where the trouble begins.

Because this might not be about Joey at all.

And if it's not, then it must be about Evan.

But finding out why could kill them both ...

But this time, the voice on the other end is Jack Johns, the man who raised and trained him, the only father Evan has ever known. Secret government forces are busy trying to scrub the remaining assets and traces of the Orphan Program and they have finally tracked down Jack. With little time remaining, Jack gives Evan his last assignment: find and protect his last protégé and recruit for the program.

But Evan isn't the only one after this last Orphan - the new head of the Orphan Program, Van Sciver, is mustering all the assets at his disposal to take out both Evan (Orphan X) and the target he is trying to protect Joey.

A plucky great character in this book is the young Joey, adds a great touch to this story adds humour and chaos to the well organised life of Evan Smoak, but they do make a great team.

Orphan chasing Orphan, but more do you need to make an exciting story, more Orphans!

Action, pace, humour as usual. Great four star book

THE BEST YET FROM ORPHAN X

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm quite a fan of Gregg Hurwitz and, having read most of his works, I've found that even the poorer ones are still pretty good and many are absolutely excellent. With the series starring Evan Smoak, that began with Orphan X, Mr Hurwitz has hit a deserved seam of success. The three books to date have progressed the story and, good as Orphan X was, The Nowhere Man ws better and now, with Hellbent, a new pinnacle is reached.

The action and sophisticated violence that are hallmarks of these novels are here too but, this time, Evan Smoak's icy cold facade is cracked and his innate humanity shows through. In short, there are more feelings on view here than in his previous outings and, here, it works really well. All of these books require quite a high level of suspension of disbelief but Hellbent does stretch that even further; there are some elements of the plot that are, genuinely, incredible. Not least is the timing that allows Smoak to destroy a whole criminal gang in one go.

The character of Joey is extremely well crafted and the ending is such that the reader is teased into hoping to hear more of her in future works. Some of the other characters are less well fleshed out but the story doesn't suffer as a result.

I absolutely loved this book and I'm sure that you will too but, if you haven't yet read the first two in this series, do so before reading Hellbent.

Everyone who likes reading thrillers should READ THIS BOOK !!!!!!!!!

Where to start reviewing this book . Gregg Hurwitz is a writer of the highest standard. The plot , the story line, the dialogue are beyond perfect !!
It doesn't matter whether Orphan X is dealing with Joey, with incredible sensitivity , whose been through HELL ,or dealing with his relentless pursuers, whose only thought Is to eliminate hm. Every character is so clearly defined that you know whose talking without being told who it is (ie . Then Joey responded to what Evan said to her....etc ,etc)
I
All his Orphan X books are just amazing.
