Prodigal Son: An Orphan X Novel

Von Band 1 bis hier zum prodigal son sind alle seine Bücher phantastisch. Spannung und Witz alles gut gemixt. Man möchte immer mehr lesen über Even Smoak und sein Leben

In the few weeks since Evan Smoak retired, he’s found that adjusting to normal life is more of a struggle than he anticipated, especially since he has nothing to fill his time. The phone calls from Veronica, the woman claiming to be his mother, aren’t helping. He finally decides to meet her, and she asks for his help protecting Andrew Duran from the people trying to kill him. Evan begins tracking down Andrew just to see what his situation is. Will he help Andrew? What might having Veronica in his life mean for him?If you are new to these books, I don’t recommend you start here. Yes, the background you need is given as events unfold, but to fully appreciate the growth in Evan and his relationships with others, you need the full background the earlier books give you. As a fan, I loved those growth moments in this book. Unfortunately, they did come at the expense of the pacing. Normally, author Gregg Hurwitz is a master at keeping the thrills going while developing the characters for us. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great action scenes, and the book always held my interest. It’s just not quite on par with his others. The scenes spent giving us technical information didn’t help with the pacing. Having said that, it’s going to be a long wait until the next book comes out so I can find out what happens next. Being a thriller, this does have more language and violence than my normal selections, so be prepared before you pick it up. Fans will definitely enjoy this book, and if you haven’t started the series yet, I recommend you do so today.

He kind of lost the plot a trifle in this last book. You might say got slightly off the track but I enjoyed the series very much. Highly recommended.

I really like OrphanX. What he does, generally, of course, is not within human possibilities, but it is great one and like the whole series save one and that one required a truly “deus ex machina” to save him as the plot spun out of control LOL. For those who like as Jason Bourne type of tale, this is for you.

Buch sieht aus, als hätte man es schon gelesen. Alle Ecken vom Buch haben schon Farbe verloren...
