Prodigal Son by Gregg Hurwitz

Another action-packed adventure with Orphan X.  I was worried about whether he would resume his role as the Nowhere Man after excepting a pardon from the president.  As circumstances unfold in the latest book, the call for help to the Nowhere Man comes from a most unexpected source: a woman claiming to be his mother.

She wants him to help a man called Andrew Duran, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and now has a dedicated brother and sister team out to assassinate him. 

I'm not at all as sure about the mother/son business, but I'm very happy to see Evan Smoak take up his mantle as the Nowhere Man again! 

Read in August;  blog review:  Jan. 11.

Keep 'em coming, Mr. Hurwitz!

    1. My favorite in this series was the first one, but I have enjoyed most of the books I've read. They are totally unrealistic and violent, but exciting. :)

    1. :) That's the way it goes. I can understand not being attracted to these books for several reasons, and I mentioned a couple in my review of the first book. On the other hand, how to explain my willingness to cheer on this kind of antihero is probably a matter for a therapist. :)

  7. For some reason I keep thinking this is a YA series until I start reading reviews. I'm pretty sure my husband reads this one and really likes it too. Maybe I need to check it out!
