Evan Smoak—government assassin gone rogue—returns in Hellbent, an engrossing, unputdownable thriller from Gregg Hurwitz, the latest in his #1 international bestselling Orphan X series. Taken from a group home at age twelve, Evan Smoak was raised and trained as an off-the-books government assassin: Orphan X. After he broke with the Orphan Program, Evan disappeared and reinvented himself as the Nowhere Man, a man spoken about only in whispers and dedicated to helping the truly desperate. But this time, the voice on the other end is Jack Johns, the man who raised and trained him, the only father Evan has ever known. Secret government forces are busy trying to scrub the remaining assets and traces of the Orphan Program and they have finally tracked down Jack. With little time remaining, Jack gives Evan his last assignment: find and protect his last protégé and recruit for the program. But Evan isn’t the only one after this last Orphan—the new head of the Orphan Program, Van Sciver, is mustering all the assets at his disposal to take out both Evan (Orphan X) and the target he is trying to protect.

I think I like this one better than the second book in the series. It had me guessing and we got to see an insight into other characters. I liked that he had a side kick and do pleased she got to carry on with her life outside the program - I was sure she had died from her gun shot wound! Will be interesting to see if we see Candy in the next book!
Wat leest dit lekker weg. De korte hoofdstukken hebben als het effect dat je het boek echt lastig weg kan leggen. Binnen 14 dagen het boek uit. Het derde boek borduurt netjes verder op de voorgaande delen en dat maakt dat deze serie steeds krachtiger wordt. Soms waren wat voorspelbaar, maar dat heeft de pret absoluut niet bedorven. Iets minder high-tech en iets meer verhaal. Super boek!
