A review by rellimreads
The Nowhere Man by Gregg Hurwitz

4.0

This is book 2 in the Evan Smoak/Orphan X series. While there’s a whole story here - there’s some secondary storylines that I think are best enjoyed if you listen to book 1 first.

Evan is in big trouble and has definitely found a match in terms of an adversary who is not easily vanquished. Much of this book is spent with Evan imprisoned and trying to escape. While at first it seemed the pacing was going to be much slower - I realized that Hurwitz was making this as much of a psychological thriller as an action based one.

I enjoyed the twists and turns, the “tit for tat” between Evan & Andre, and Evan’s unwavering determination to focus on his Nowhere Man assignment despite desperately needing help himself.

Definitely looking forward to Hellbent.

Narration:
Scott Brick is fantastic as usual. His voices for Van Sciver’s voice modulating program are particularly dynamic. It’s a treat to listen to.
