Evan Smoak - government assassin gone rogue - returns in Hellbent, an engrossing, unputdownable thriller from Gregg Hurwitz, the latest in his #1 international bestselling Orphan X series.

Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as an off-the-books government assassin: Orphan X. After he broke with the Orphan Program, Evan disappeared and reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, a man spoken about only in whispers and dedicated to helping the truly desperate.

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.

Make no mistake, Evan Smoak is back and better than ever, and yes that includes the 1st in the series... An edge of your seat ride that keeps comin’ at ya... I literally found myself scootching forward in anticipation of the next event the tension was so well wrought...Love the next gen orphan thing, and Joey is one to be reckoned w/, and Vanskyver is a superb Bondian style villain... Imo what makes this the best so far is an utterly masterful plot, superbly sequenced action, and character interplay w/ impressive emotional depth... Most of all I dug the maturity of Orphan X, and his questioning, adjusting, and plain scrappin’ things when needed to get it right... Very satisfying resolution, and boy howdy sets up for a ripper of a next installment;). Narration was superior as usual... Worth the read/listen and only complaint is that it was over too soon... I actually stopped at times as I saw the end approaching so I could draw out the enjoyment a little longer;). Go ahead, you know ya’ wanna;). Enjoy...

Hurwitz returns to form after terrible previous book. I love the character and this book does a masterful job of revealing new evolving aspects of his character.

Great

I imagine Evan Smoak as Jack Reacher's younger brother. He is very skilled in his trade craft and uses those skills to help people with no where else to turn...kind of like a one-man "A-Team" albeit much more sophisticated. This book was a little different because we saw Evan deal with some emotions he's not used to feeling, and there were some surprises that I am anxious to see fleshed out in future installments. As usual, Scott Brick did a great job narrating. I would recommend this series for mature readers due to its violent content. As always, Happy Reading!
