Dark Horse
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
The New York Times bestselling series returns when Orphan X faces his most challenging mission ever in Gregg Hurwitz's Dark Horse.
This audiobook includes a bonus conversation between the author and Jack Carr.
Evan Smoak is a man with many identities and a challenging past. As Orphan X, he was a government assassin for the off-the-books Orphan Program. After he broke with the Program, he adopted a new name and a new mission—The Nowhere Man, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. Having just survived an attack on his life, and the complete devastation of his base of operations, as well as his complicated (and deepening) relationship with his neighbor Mia Hall, Evan isn't interested in taking on a new mission. But one finds him anyway.
Aragon Urrea is a kingpin of a major drug-dealing operation in South Texas. He's also the patron of the local area—suppyling employment in legitimate operations, providing help to the helpless, a rough justice to the downtrodden, and a future to a people normally with little hope. He's complicated—a not completely good man, who does bad things for often good reasons. However, for all his money and power, he is helpless when one of the most vicious cartels kidnaps his innocent eighteen year old daughter, spiriting her away into the armored complex that is their headquarters in Mexico. With no other way to rescue his daughter, he turns to The Nowhere Man.
Now not only must Evan figure out how to get into the impregnable fortress of a heavily armed, deeply paranoid cartel leader, but he must decide if he should help a very bad man—no matter how just the cause.

- content: Narrator Scott Brick brings his usual gravitas to this audiobook, a riveting story featuring Evan Smoak, a highly trained agent charged with finding the kidnapped daughter of a drug kingpin. Brick is admirable with his voices. He gives Evan a controlled tone that fits his personality. Aragon, the drug lord who hires Evan, is given a soothing accented voice. A more vicious adversary takes on a gruff angry tone. As clearly different and engaging as the voices are, it's Brick's emotion that elevates this story. It shifts from a thriller as Evan infiltrates the opposition to a comedy as he deals with his 16-year-old assistant and to a love story as his girlfriend, Mia, brings him out of his shell. It all results in a great marriage of exciting plot and exceptional narration. M.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine

Starred review from March 1, 2022
In the new chapter of the "Orphan X" saga (following Prodigal Son), Evan Smoak, aka Orphan X, will need all his skills and experience. After breaking with the government and quitting his role as a secret assassin, X changed his name to the Nowhere Man and adopted a new mission, going to bat for underdogs. Here the daughter of a local crime kingpin is kidnapped in rural Texas by a drug cartel. The kingpin is not entirely bad and is the kind patron of a town and its people. The effort to get the girl back is taut and stressful and allows the Nowhere Man to fight what he hates most: bullies and abusers. The characters are extremely well written, and their back stories are rich and complex. The action carries listeners through the story like a raging torrent. Scott Brick's narration, as always, makes the listen so much more enjoyable. VERDICT This may be the best entry in Hurwitz's series so far. Highly recommended.--Scott DiMarco

Starred review from November 29, 2021
In bestseller Hurwitz’s excellent seventh Orphan X novel (after 2021’s Prodigal Son), Aragón Urrea, a South Texas drug lord, approaches former black ops assassin Evan Smoak (aka the Nowhere Man), who assists people in seemingly hopeless situations as a way of paying penance for past sins. Urrea’s 18-year-old daughter, Anjelina, has been kidnapped by a ruthless Mexican cartel. Despite doubts about helping a criminal like Urrea, Smoak agrees to try to rescue Anjelina. Along the way to the satisfying resolution, Smoak is forced to scrutinize his own life, in which he has remained distant from those most important to him—in particular, love interest Mia Hall, a district attorney and single mother who’s faced with a life-threatening surgery, and Joey Morales, a 16-year-old hacker extraordinaire who has become a surrogate daughter of sorts. Nonstop action and relentless pacing are matched by deeply philosophical and powerfully emotional undertones. Unlike comparable series that tend to lose steam after several installments, this series just gets better as it evolves. 200,000-copy announced first printing. Agent: Lisa Erbach Vance, Aaron Priest Literary.
