About this 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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Solid chapter

The instant trust from both drug lords was entirely unbelievable. Especially when it was demonstrated early on, how they found the first mole. Rest of story, was great and Brick is probably best narrator on the planet.

Loads of action!

Another excellent Orphan X book! This time he takes on a huge drug cartel because of a Romeo and Juliet type of situation. This of course teaches him a little more about family. As always, this book is loaded with action and even a new vodka I need to try lol. The voice of X, Mr Scott Brick, does a phenomenal job with the narration!

Top tier writing and narration

The combination of Hurwitz's writing and Bricks narration continue to be one of the best in the audiobook industry.

The continuing development of each character in the Orphan series is fully present in this new release. I absolutely love Joey and dog the dog!

I must say that I have never been that big a fan of stories focusing on on cartel villains but this was a winner! Very gripping and flew threw this in Three days!
