Dark Horse – Audiobook
Narrator: Scott Brick
Length: 14 hours and 30 minutes
Evan Smoak was an assassin for the deep cover government Orphan program. He was selected from a foster home and trained as a child. Now he wants to atone for his sins by helping others that are in trouble. He is the Nowhere Man.
In the last book, Evan’s penthouse apartment was destroyed by an explosion. He literally flew from the 21st floor in a winged parachute. While finding laborers to rebuild the penthouse, he comes across a long man who tells him a story of a man that needs help. Evan gives him his telephone number to pass along.
When Anjelina Urrea is kidnapped from her eighteenth birthday party by a Mexican drug cartel, her father, Aragon, is distraught. The leader of a major drug operation in South Texas, Aragon blames himself. He is visited by the young man and gets the Nowhere Man’s phone number. Because of Aragon’s drug business, Evan must decide if he is worthy of help – something he has never done before.
This is the seventh book in the series. It is fast paced and written in the third person point of view. The characters are developed and of course, we see return appearances from Joey, Tommy, Mia, and Peter along with residents of Evan’s building. The book does end on There is a lot of violence in the book from what I would expect from drug cartels. I see Evan as a cross between Jason Bourne and the Equalizer. If you enjoy action books, you should give this book a try. I always look forward to the next installment in the Orphan X series. The narrator really brought the characters to life.
