ACTION-PACKED
THE SIMPLER THE MISSION—THE DEADLIER THE FALL.
Known as Orphan X, X, Evan Smoak, and the Nowhere Man, once a black book government assassin he left the program, went underground, and reinvented himself to save others when they had nowhere else to turn.
We have followed Evan from international crime syndicates and drug cartels to facing the most powerful men in the world.
There is a personal crisis, taking him back to the basics to help his niece find her missing dog. This is not his usual mission, but this job explodes into his biggest mission yet, which finds him between twisted AI techno billionaires, a mysterious female assassin (much like himself), and more twists and turns pushing him to his limit. (scary stuff).
Evan must take down the assassin, Wolf before she completes her mission and kills the people who can identify her—a teen daughter of her last target and Evan himself.
Who will win in the end? Has Evan met his match?
I have read all the books in this incredible series and enjoyed revisiting with characters from past books. I loved the banter and fun between Joey and X as they worked together on the case. We have seen lots of growth among the characters, and the author keeps the series fresh and clever with each installment.
LONE WOLF is mixed with humor, wit, action, suspense, and drama, a heart-pounding thriller full of twists! Thought-provoking, the author tackles real-life world issues of technology and artificial intelligence.
AUDIOBOOK: As usual, I would not miss an audiobook performance by the dazzling Scott Brick, who makes the characters come alive for a stellar performance.
I highly recommend this series, but you must start with Book #1 and enjoy the wild ride. Highly entertaining.
Many thanks to St. Martin's Press, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for both a digital reading/review copy and an advanced listening audio copy for an honest opinion. #SMPInfluencers
