About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Get Prodigal Son, the thrilling new Orphan X book from best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz.

He can escape anything. Except his own past....

'Evan. It's your mother. I heard you help people....'

Evan Smoak used to be known as Orphan X: a figure as elusive as a rumour, until he came to the rescue of those who most desperately needed his help. The kind of help no one else could provide. The kind that caused concern in the corridors of power.

As a boy he'd been plucked from a foster home and trained as an off-the-books assassin inside a top secret US government programme.

Which is why, even forced into early retirement, he dare not trust the phone call. Nor the caller claiming to be his mother. Asking him to protect a complete stranger who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

None of it stacks up. Yet it bears the tell-tale signs of the secret world that made him. And from inside it, a deadly new threat to the nation's security.

But this time the danger is more personal than he could have ever imagined. Because blood runs deep....

in this book, Evan explores more of his history and family side, with the story centred on family and relationships. this distracted me from the usual fin and excitement of the orphan X series. yes it makes him more human, but do we really need that?? I also hated the ending. it's not a TV mini series, and there's no need to end on a cliff hanger to entice the readers back. the writing should be good enough for that on its own....

a bit to human

Great story telling as always. Love the characters and the relationship of Joey and Evan.
Love Scott Brick's narration. I would choose a book because he narrated it

Loved it

I couldn't wait for the latest book in the series....I was not disappointed, another outstanding story, plenty of plot twists and turns as the characters move though the narrative, plus a couple of 'oh my word' moments

Fantastic
