"The winning combination of Gregg Hurwitz and Scott Brick returns for another action-packed listen featuring Evan Smoak...Brick is so convincing at embodying Smoak that listeners will be forgiven for thinking they too could take on four bad guys to protect a good guy in need of help." -- AudioFile Magazine

*This program contains a deep dive into the character and history of Tommy Stojack, featuring Gregg Hurwitz and fans of the Orphan X series.*

Forced into retirement, Evan Smoak gets an urgent request for help from someone he didn't even suspect existedā€”in Prodigal Son, the next New York Times bestselling Orphan X audiobook from Gregg Hurwitz.

As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new nameā€”The Nowhere Manā€”and a new mission, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. But the highest power in the country has made him a tempting offerā€”in exchange for an unofficial pardon, he must stop his clandestine activities as The Nowhere Man. Now Evan has to do the one thing heā€™s least equipped to doā€”live a normal life.

But then he gets a call for help from the one person he never expected. A woman claiming to have given him up for adoption, a woman he never knewā€”his mother. Her unlikely request: help Andrew Duranā€”a man whose life has gone off the rails, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, bringing him to the deadly attention of very powerful figures. Now a brutal brother & sister assassination team are after him and with no one to turn to, and no safe place to hide, Evan is Duranā€™s only option. But when the hidden cabal catches on to what Evan is doing, everything heā€™s fought for is on the lineā€”including his own life.
