About this listen

"Brick employs perfect timing and emphasis to portray Evan and plays him with heart.... Series fans will be eager to tee up this new Hurwitz blockbuster."—AudioFile on Lone Wolf

No greater friend. No deadlier enemy.

The explosive new novel in the New York Times bestselling Orphan X series is flipping the acclaimed series on its head. Find out why series superfans and new listeners alike are calling it a “knockout” (firstCLUE).

Evan Smoak is a highly trained former government assassin who has survived for years by keeping his circle to a few trusted confidants and a strict code he calls “The Ten Commandments.” But when Evan suddenly finds himself at odds with his oldest friend, all the rules he lives by shatter—and the consequences are murderous.

Tommy Stojack might be Evan's best friend in the world. He’s a gifted gunsmith who has created much of Evan's own weapons and combat gear. But now, he has apparently crossed one of Evan's hardest lines and their argument explodes into open warfare. Now Evan has no choice but to track and face down his only friend.

In the meantime, Tommy has left town in order to honor his own promise to help a dead friend's son. While Tommy is fighting to save the son with everything he’s got, Evan arrives with vengeance in mind.

But as deadly as the former Orphan X is, there is an even more dangerous threat about to arrive on the scene. The only question left is will any of them get out alive.

Critic reviews

"Nemesis is an excellent turning point in the Orphan X series with great story arcs that embrace meaningful and engaging themes distinct to each character and also opens the door for an even rawer and emotionally beaten Evan like you would never expect by the end of the narrative. Hurwitz throws a curveball that will leave you stunned for the better part of a day when you finally reach the end."—Best Thriller Books

I didn't want to finish but I couldn't stop listening!

I love orphan x. And Scott brick is an amazing narrator. I love the way he differentiated the characters speaking in different voices when Tommy was speaking or Evan. I hope someday they make these books into a mini series for TV because I would absolutely binge watch them!

Orphan X is back with a vengence

An outstanding ride with Evan Smoak. I thought it started a little off track, seemingly with a more emotional connection than we have seen Evan have, but things turn and Orphan X is back with his usual vengeance (and his rules), focused on rendering the problem into a vegetative state. I loved the challenge coin being fixed near the end. Please Gregg, get started on the next one.

Perhaps the best X yet.

Excellent work on characters and social commentary. Scott Brik is at his best. I hope the next edition makes it by Christmas.

Orphan X tales just get better and better.

Not sure how this author does it but he never seems to run out of ideas. Been with this since the first book and every book keeps you intrigued right to the end. I am gonna miss Tommy though.

Good as usual

Evan was fantastic as usual. How about a book without Joey PMSing the whole book?

Did not disappoint

This book was everything I'd hoped it would be. I'm a huge fan of this series, these characters and this narrator. I just hate when the story ends. I want more.
