Out of the Dark: The gripping Sunday Times bestselling thriller (An Orphan X Novel)

Product Information

Thus, I was not too surprised that early in my listening, "#7, Dark Horse" sounded like it might not make the 5-Stars grade and that proved to be the case. I realize I probably missed a lot by not having read the previous novels, but even so, this worked perfectly well as a stand alone. I grew to like Evan, but I must admit that his computer expert Joey, got on my nerves a little bit. (Joey is the equivalent of Penelope on Criminal Minds, but only a teenager.) I think their banter would have bothered me less if I were more familiar with her character. I find this series super fun and fast-paced, and I like all the main characters and many plot twists.

There’s so much action and crazy situations in this story! The author had to have just poured himself into the creation process for a long time. At an early age, Evan Smoak was taken from a children's home and trained as an assassin, becoming Orphan X. After years of killing on behalf of the government, Evan went off the grid as he stepped away from the program. Now he has become the Nowhere Man, a guy who helps those who can't help themselves. It was also good to see Joey again and hope to see more of her in future books. The "Uncle Cousin" role she put Evan into was fun to imagine. The story follows Evan Smoak a.k.a The Nowhere Man. He is a skilled assassin trained in the,now defunct, off the books,Orphan program. Usually, Evan uses his knowledge, resources and talents to help desperate people that have nowhere else to turn, to find solutions for their, seemingly, unsolvable problems, but now everything is personal. The most deadly assassin in the World is hunting the most unavailable and well protected man in the World, but, at the same time, this man is huntingEvanas well...A little disappointed. I doubt if this story will recover enough to be a seventh consecutive 5-Stars rating, but it is still keeping me intrigued." Out Of The Dark is the fourth book in the Orphan X series by best-selling American author, Gregg Hurwitz. Among other things, Evan Smoak’s extensive training made him a skilled assassin. His very first mission, in an unnamed Eastern European state, involved the assassination of a foreign minister; it is this mission that somehow has led to his latest one. And he’s setting his sights high with this target: the President of the United States.

The story comes together with all the unbridled strength and power Evan has and once again proves that The Nowhere Man has a big place in the thriller suspense category. Evan will have to power up again as now he is on the eye of a needle which belongs to the most powerful woman in the US.

Retailers:

During his rare moments of relaxation, Evan sometimes visits his downstairs neighbors, single mother Mia Hall and her nine-year-old son Peter. Evan and Mia hover on the precipice of a real romance, but - given Evan's circumstances- this is an extremely dangerous proposition. Orphan X—the man, the legend, and the only one to right the world’s wrongs when no one else can. . . However, so far, each installment has been equally riveting – but, I must say, this one just might be my favorite book in the series to date. I'm actually a great fan of this series, so I couldn't resist when I got the chance to listen to the seventh installment. I was very curious what happened after the boom that ended the last book.
