The Nowhere Man: An Orphan X Novel Kindle Edition

I wasn't as thrilled with this book. I found myself getting bored. I still enjoyed the book just not as much as others....

one of my favorite of the miss fortune kindle amazon worlds that stupid amazon is no longer going to be having. back to this book, Mooses and her sisters are just fun girl that do not take anything for anyone. they fit right in with the swamp team and sinful ladies. life is not boring for these girls. this series is pretty much a stand alone series, well written, with some humor, great mysteries and great adventurers , plans that seem to go sideways but somehow work out. trying not to give anything away, but if you love Miss Fortune mysteries with strong women and unique characters in small town setting with great mystery this series is for you.

This was an absolute entertaining story. The three sisters who are so much alike yet bring to the story their very unique individual personalities is an extraordinary story in itself. Add a murder and Ida Belle, Gertie and Carter with all their sleuthing skills and what you get is an amazing adventure, and very entertaining. I recommend this book to everyone.

Kamaryn has done an outstanding job with these women and this series. I'm a very picky reader and this and the other Miss Fortune Kindle world books have become a part of my favorite writers. I'm always checking Amazon for new books and can't wait for the next in the series. Keep up the great work.

Enjoy this series as a spin-off to the Miss Fortune books! It uses the characters well and has progressed with good story lines. Usually a very enjoyable read, but somehow this story had a hard time with grammatical errors and bad spacing between the words, in the word, and paragraph lines. Made the book very hard to read and understand. Sorry. Will look forward to a better edit in the 12th book! Thanks!

Good read but it gets a little slow going.

love this series-Ida Belle and Gertie get to have lots of fun with the Murphy sisters-looking forward to more sisters appearing and how CARTER HANDLES IT

This book was not up to usually good standard s I do not think I would read it again or recommend it

After reading Orphan X I was looking forward to Nowhere Man. It didn't disappoint. Well written in a easily read style. I read my review to this book and though "I haven't really given it credit" So here goes. The Orphan X Thrillers are in a class of their own. They are about a complex character who you always want to get behind. As you read the books you learn more and more about Evan. Gregg Hurwitz has a away of writing in great detail without getting bogged down making it boring.I worked as an undercover Officer although it is miles apart from what Evan did and does in these stories and Evan is fictional there are parts of this book that you will wonder could they really happen. The main character, Evan has been developed and you see that Greg Hurwitz has created and written about a personality to perfection. I suffer from PTSD and Evan reflects on his past and guilt in a way that will resonate with the reader, you don't need to have been through things in life that are clandestine to relate to Evan, his personality and his relationships....you just need to be human.Personally I hope this series runs and runs and would make an excellent movie or series or movies. There is also the fact that you will enjoy every page of this book and want to learn more about the characters. It is often said glibly, "I couldn't put it down" But in this case I couldn't.I read many books and never thought I would find a new series that caught my attention and imagination like the Orphan X Thriller.If you like action books, thrillers and want to read something that is fresh, invigorating and different to many of the stories that are the same old story in a different backdrop read the Orphan X Thrillers. Gregg Hurwitz has written something new which will appeal to a wide audience in a genre that has at time become a little repetitive.

It's a while since I read The Nowhere Man, but having just finished the follow-up, Hell Bent, I felt I should submit a short review of this second Orphan-X novel.I'm afraid that I fall into the camp that found Nowhere Man a rather disappointing affair. It wasn't a complete bust by any means, but it definitely failed to grip or entertain to the same degree as Orphan X.Whilst I commend Gregg Hurwitz for avoiding the easy option of simply producing a reheated version of the first book's plot, I felt that the route he decided to take really didn't come off. The main problem for me, as it seemed to be or other Amazon reviewers, was the rather repetitive nature of events. To me it felt like the plot stalled for too much of book's length, robbing the story of the expected & necessary dynamism. What should have been a page turner that you couldn't put down became just a little bit tedious after a while.This creates a two-fold problem for escapist, action-driven thrillers like Nowhere Man. Firstly, it means that the book isn't delivering what its supposed to; namely thrills and excitement. Secondly, it makes it harder for the reader to maintain the necessary suspension of disbelief that the story requires in order to work. When events are barreling along at a breakneck pace the reader doesn't have time to think how utterly implausible events on the page. However, when a story of this sort stalls, as The Nowhere Man does, its harder to ignore the more outlandish and ridiculous parts of the plot.As a result The Nowhere Man is a far less satisfying read than Orphan-X. Yes, it develops the character of Evan Smoak and the world he inhabits further, but it isn't gripping enough whilst it does it. And for all the sound and fury on offer, it doesn't really move any of the characters forward from where there were at the beginning of the book. All in all The Nowhere Man feels like a book that expends a lot of energy only to leave the wheels on the Orphan X Series spinning.

I thoroughly enjoy this series, and find the main character very intriguing. There is room, however, to give him some more depth, and, perhaps to relate some of his life before he became the nowhere man. He does seem similar to "Hitman", although not genetically altered.What I don't like is the horrible, misbehaving, no manners little kid that has been thrust into this series. The kid behaves abominably , and his mother has no clue about teaching him self-control;manners; and the adage that"children should be seen and not heard". I don't see any relevance of this distraction, and clearly there is no future in any attempt to have a relationship with the adoptive mother who is an ADA. Ditch the kid, or teach him some manners! Hence only 4 stars for this annoying distraction instead of 5.

If your bad guy is a megalomaniac villain straight out of a James Bond movie, and your good guy makes Jason Bourne look like a regular dude, then you're going to have a battle on your hands to stop your novel being a cliché. Fortunately, Gregg Hurwitz has the skill to come up with the goods. That's not to say you won't be rolling your eyes on more than one occasion. Evan Smoak finds himself in one impossible situation after another, but as he's the smartest, toughest and meanest character ever, who's just finished reading Houdini's handbook and chewed it up and spat it out, there's always a plan. For readers who enjoy an action thriller and are happy to suspend reality (and then some), The Nowhere Man is a riveting ride waiting to be enjoyed. Those who like their fiction to keep its feet on the ground should probably walk on by.

Orphan X appealed to me because I enjoyed the personal touch. Evan Smoak is seen to be heartless and driven to a point where he seems to only care for the objective. However, Orphan X introduced two people into Evan's life that changed his thinking. It also touched on his troubled past and his close relationship with someone else. This book defers away from that a little but definitely gives you a feeling of Evan as a character. I think Jack Reacher has left a bad impression on what I should expect from action heroes. He's a man of no personality. The likes of Evan Smoak and Scot Harvath have really opened up my eyes to action heroes with personality.I'll continue this series and likely enjoy all of those 4/5 too.
