He returns in the sequel to the national bestseller Orphan X. Evan Smoak is the Nowhere Man! When he is reached by the very desperate, he can and will do anything to save them. In the course of rescuing someone, Evan is captured by a sociopath, drugged, and taken to a remote location which is heavily guarded. He attempts to outwit and overpower his captor at every opportunity which leads to many suspenseful and pulse racing scenes. A game of cat and mouse ensues where we witness him using the numerous skills taught to him as a youngster in the Orphan programme. An exceptional ending that leaves us wanting more. Gregg Hurwitz fails to disappoint and I can hardly wait to read his next thriller starring Evan Smoak!

I nominated and re-read this novel for book club and was thrilled when our members felt the same way about this story as I did. I have yet to come acroI nominated and re-read this novel for book club and was thrilled when our members felt the same way about this story as I did. I have yet to come across an author who not only writes heart breaking yet heart warming stories but also the beautifully artistic way he depicts the beauty that is the Hawaiian islands. Rachel, the narrator, is one of the strongest characters I've had the pleasure to live through twice. Her story is powerful and one that has stayed with me for seven years thus far. I could truly feel this author's work being a labour of love and this is what has made it one of my all-time favourite books. Honolulu and Palisades Park, both by Alan Brennert are wonderful reads as well....more
