About this listen
Do you need my help?
It was always the first question he asked.
They called him when they had nowhere else to turn.
Raised and trained as part of a top-secret programme, he was sent to the worst places in the world to do things his government denied any knowledge of.
Then he broke with the programme and disappeared. But now someone's on his tail. Someone who knows he was once known simply as Orphan X.

The story is your typical mystery-man hero with special forces/secret agency background. There are dozens out there. The reader knows what to expect.
Hurwitz has created the Orphan Programme. A government scheme to train suitable unwanted children as assassins. Evan is one such but became disconnected from when his handler and only contact died. For the least few years he has been performing good deeds like every other loner hero. Now he has come up against a daunting foe.
Hurwitz creates a sense of realism by product paving equipment. A trick used by I an Fleming. His explanation of world martial arts gives a lively feel of to the fight scenes.
One silly bit was some of of the outre electronic. Another was Evans finances..siphoned off from government funds, it gives a luxurious lifestyle. Another trope of loner heroes since The Saint. An above reasonable number of of the accidental encounter with hoods needing to be taught a lesson. But get past that and you have another engrossing story.
Well performed, exciting story. Sometimes silly
