The Nowhere Man: An Orphan X Novel (Evan Smoak, Book 2)
by Gregg Hurwitz (Author), Scott Brick (Narrator)

Evan Smoak is doing what he's always done since becoming The Nowhere Man, helping desperate people escape the clutches of evil. Then he is captured and the list of his potential captors is long and deadly. Almost anyone who could have grabbed him and spirited him off to a frozen, mountainous chalet will have unlimited resources. But no one can match Evan's brains and talents. As long as he is alive, he has a chance.

He must escape because there are two people who are depending on him. A teenage girl, sold to the highest bidder, and a boy, who says he's trapped with other boys, with no way out. Evan's situation looks impossible to escape but then this is Evan and I know there are more books after this one...ha ha!

Evan is a man you'd want on YOUR side. But, there is a part of Evan that wants off this merry go round of violence, if only he knew how to let go. It seems unlikely to ever happen, though, of Evan retiring and becoming a normal person. But he's got a humdinger of a predicament to survive before he'll have any more time for "what ifs". This story went way over my gore limit and I'm more into story than action but I still can't stop wanting to keep going on to the next books. What I like best about this series is that the character seems real, even while the series is so over the top.
