Audiobook Review: Into the Fire by Gregg Hurwitz, read by Scott Brick
Into the Fire is the 5th awesome novel in the Evan Smoak series of unputdownable thrillers from best-selling author Gregg Hurwitz. His writing style is absolutely amazing, his characters and locations spring to life in Scott Brick‘s perfect performance and this audiobook production is a tour de force from the first second to its last.
Once again, we follow Evan Smoak a.k.a The Nowhere Man. He is a skilled assassin trained in the, now defunct, off the books, Orphan program. Usually, Evan uses his knowledge, resources and talents to help desperate people that have no one else to turn to. Evan has to find solutions for their, seemingly, unsolvable problems by putting his life in peril at every step of the way.
In Into the Fire, our beloved hero takes on a seamlessly easy job, trying to help a man that’s hunted by some unsavory individuals, but every time he thinks the mission is complete, a new target arises, more ruthless and deadlier than the one before it.
The brilliant narrator, actor and VoiceOver artist Scott Brick returns once again to this series and he delivers a superb performance. He is clearly enjoying these stories and there’s no one better to be named Orphan X in his place.
Scott brings tension, urgency, emotion and style to an already fantastic adventure, raising the level of immersion to the max for the listener, making the audiobook version of Into the Fire better than the printed one.
For those who don’t know, today is Scott’s birthday and I hope that he will be around for many more years, delighting us with his warm and friendly voice. He is one of the best narrators in the Audiobook Industry, and for Thriller fans he brought to life during his illustrious career such renowned characters as Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher, Dirk Pitt and many, many others. Happy Birthday, dear Mr. Brik!
So, if you are looking for good thrillers, twists and turns, non-stop and over the top action, a hero with a good heart and truly hateful villains, I can’t recommend enough Into the Fire and the entire Evan Smoak series by Gregg Hurwitz.
