Summary

Ambushed and drugged, Evan Smoak wakes up in a locked room with no idea where he is or who has captured him. As he tries to piece together what's happened, he receives a desperate call for help. With time running out, he will need to out-manoeuvre a powerful opponent to have any chance of escape. He's got to save himself to protect those whose lives depend on him...or die trying.

A gruelling tale

I'm exhausted - not only is Evan's traumatic life keeping me constantly on the edge of my seat but I also have to keep listening until it's finished which means bed is going to be in the morning not at night!

Gripping action, brilliant performance.

A thoroughly gripping story following on nicely from the last book. Not to worry if you haven't read the others, this fills in the important details in an entertaining way.
The action scenes are penned in a gripping style and the narrator's performance is 100% convincing. Highly recommend without reservation!

Great Follow Up

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It's a thriller in the Jack Reacher / Jason Bourne style, it's just written really well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Evan is clearly the reason you return for more, however the supporting cast of villains and acquaintances are well fleshed out. Orphan V feels like she is going to bring more to the party as the series progresses.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

I like the sense of drama he brings, it's a bit slow going sometimes but his Jack and Evan are good. I think my favourite bit of his narration is when Evan answers the phone 'Do you need my help...'

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's violent rather than emotional.

Any additional comments?

Best thriller I've read for years (after Orphan X).

Best of its type

Great thriller with a genuinely interesting and engaging protagonist and supporting cast.Knowingly written, several Deus Ex Machina moments are acknowledged within the story. Very well performed- characters are easy to tell apart without sounding false or strained.

Poor sequel

Got boring and is a bit outdated with bond like villain in a villa with henchmen. Superman Evan kills two in his bedroom! Really. Even uses survival doritos to light fire in villa woods to keep warm before escaping. Forgot why he was kept for so long! Silly and not as entertaining as orphan x which had humour. Poor bond/Jason bourne/ jack Bauer bandwagon copy. Shame

The most exhaustingly exciting ride ever.

From start to finish this book is packed with excitement. Evan, a Robin Hood killer that shows no empathy towards his well deserved victims, you feel deserves so much more from life for himself.
The narration was excellent and so perfectly balanced to the storyline and characters that I could have happily listened to another 10 hours.

I just hope there is another in the series, although how you can improve on this is going to be a tall order.

Enjoyable fluff

It's good, but there are some glaringly obvious 'would never do's, for example holding a pine cone out on an outstretched palm for a sniper to shoot it out of your hand - and hoping he didn't take your hand off! Not as good as Victor The Assassin by Tom Wood, but having said that - I can't wait for book 3!

Brilliant!

After devouring Orphan X I couldn't wait to download this and start listening. It didn't disappoint, great story and narration. Lots of unexpected things too which is always the sign of a great author. Roll on Book 3
