the setup…
Evan Smoak is on his way back to Los Angeles and stops in a Palo Alto coffee shop. He notices a beautiful woman in the grasp of a man that looks unnatural. Further observation has him believing she shows all the signs of being in an abusive situation. After a little internet searching, he figures out the man is rich and powerful.
the heart of the story…
Here Evan shows us not only how thoroughly he researches all dynamics of a potential operation but his extreme discipline. He accomplishes a lot in a very short period of time and his patience is beyond that of ordinary people.
the narration…
Scott Brick is Evan Smoak. Period. I’m only listening to the books going forward.
the bottom line…
This is extremely short but manages to firmly establish who Evan is and how the idea of The Nowhere Man took shape. The woman he rescues represents his first client and I’m glad we got this question answered, quickly and succinctly. It definitely whet my appetite for more.

Believe it or not, I have all the the Orphan X audiobooks and digital books. I’m more than ready to read this one and the other 4 that I haven’t yet. There’s just something about Evan Smoak!!! Netflix is supposed to be making a movie or series or something. I hope they do!

I’m already hooked after 1 1/2 books! It would make an outstanding Netflix series. They’d need to have high production quality though but there are so many excellent casting choices.

I have read or listened to the full length books, but missed several of the novellas. I need to go back and see if I can find them on audiobook. I agree, Scott Brick does a great job with the narration and I have listened to the last several. Glad to hear you are already hooked, Jo.
