Orphan X: Evan Smoak, cartea 1

Autor Gregg Hurwitz Spus de Scott Brick
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio

"Orphan X is the most gripping, high-octane thriller I've read in a long, long time. Hang onto your seat because Gregg Hurwitz will take you on a dizzying ride you'll not soon forget " --Tess Gerritsen

The Nowhere Man is a legendary figure spoken about only in whispers. It's said that when he's reached by the truly desperate and deserving, the Nowhere Man can and will do anything to protect and save them.

But he's no legend.

Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. He's also a man with a dangerous past. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as part of the off-the-books black box Orphan program, designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence assets--i.e. assassins. He was Orphan X. Evan broke with the program, using everything he learned to disappear.

Now, however, someone is on his tail. Someone with similar skills and training. Someone who knows Orphan X. Someone who is getting closer and closer. And will exploit Evan's weakness--his work as The Nowhere Man--to find him and eliminate him. Grabbing the listener from the beginning, Orphan X is a masterful thriller, the first in Gregg Hurwitz's electrifying new series featuring Evan Smoak.

Orphan Xis the mostgripping, high-octane thrillerI've read in a long, long time!
Memorable as hell
The page-turner of the season isOrphan X. . . Wonderful
Orphan Xishis best yet- a real celebration of all the strengths Gregg Hurwitz brings to a thriller
Orphan Xis the most exciting thriller I've read sinceThe Bourne Identity...A new thriller superstar is born!

A new series character to rival Reacher. . . anyone readingOrphan Xwon't be surprised that a cadre of peers, from Tess Gerritsen to Lee Child, have lined up to praise it
A masterpiece of suspense and thrills. . . Turn off the real world and dive into this amazing start to a new series
'There is apristine classicismto Gregg Hurwitz'sOrphan X, which borrows fromRobert Ludlumand superhero lore to bring us Evan Smoak, adopted as a child by a shadowy figure called Jack and trained to be an assassin as part of a secret US government scheme. When the Orphan programme (as it is known) is disbanded, Evan moves to California and devotes himself to good works - taking out a slum-landlord paedophile cop, for example, after his victim calls Evan's special number. However, his meticulously compartmentalised life makes him vulnerable . . .Orphan Xis tight and tense in all the right places. But it wouldn't work half as well if we didn't feel Evan's pain and share his panic as the worst-case scenario unfolds: another former Orphan, with a less noble agenda, seems to be hunting him.Orphan Xis weapons-grade thriller-writing from a modern master
Pure nail-biting stay-up-all-night suspense
Orphan Xis not good.Orphan Xis great. Whatever you like best in a thriller -action, plot, character, suspense-Orphan Xhas it
Mind blowing!A perfect mix of Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher
Bond, Frodo, Paddington Bear - some of literature's greatest heroes have been orphans. AddOrphan X's Evan Smoak to the list
In terms of plot, characters, suspense and innovation,Orphan Xis outstanding. . . I've always thought that one reason forTom Clancy's success was the endless detail he provided about military hardware, and that theJames Bondnovels benefited from the loving attentionIan Flemingdevoted to the martinis, expensive cars and gorgeous women he so admired.Hurwitz outdoes both writers. . .Orphan Xis a smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller. It's also the start of a series, one that might giveLee Child's Jack Reacherbooks a run for their money
Bestseller Hurwitz melds non-stop action and high-tech gadgetry with an acute character study in thisexcellent series opener. . . Evan Smoak is anelectrifyingcharacter
