Synopsis:
They trained him to hunt now he's the hunted. A former military asset code named Orphan X. Evan Smoak works as the Nowhere Man out to protect the helpless. Until the night it all goes wrong. Ambushed, drugged, and kidnapped. Evan wakes in a locked room. He's outnumbered and out gunned. His captors are sure they outsmarted him. But they have got it all wrong. He is not locked up with them. They are locked up with him.
My Thoughts:
The book begins with Evan waking up to find that he is locked in a room. He had been kidnapped, and drugged. Evan decides that he is going to make a plan to escape. He still has his phone, which is an untraceable, and receives a call for help, will he be able to escape in time to help?
This book takes along on a wild ride, as Evan tries to escape to help the people who have called him for help. There is a lot of action, and intensity as we follow along with him, as he tries to escape to help these people, who badly need his help.
As I was reading this, I found myself cheering him on to try and escape. I have to say that while we read in the book that Evan is a very closed off person, it was nice to get to know him, and learn more about how he came to be a part of this program, that he has been a part of since he was a child.
We see him wanting to help people, despite all the training that he has received over the years, and also the lives he has taken. He is trying to be a better person, and you can tell that he is working very hard to be that person.
