He does not get into details but X provides his number so that the illegal can forward it to his friend. I love Evan and I love watching him grow as a character and seeing how all of his relationships develop. Evan Smoak is one of thrillerdom's most compelling characters, and Hurwitz keeps revealing new aspects of his complex personality.

At the musical detour, Anjelina stopped dancing with her friends to set her arms akimbo and frown at her father with mock frustration. Now, sixteen-years-old, this feisty, smart aleck, is the smartest hacker he has ever known, taking college computer-science classes at UCLA that she could actually teach. Because the person asking for help happens to be a very bad man, but his daughter, Anjelina, is an innocent, Evan decides to intervene. If Evan is going to put his life on the line to rescue Anjelina, he must first decide whether he can act on behalf of a bad man.Chucho slid himself forward, elbows finding his knees, his eyes rising only far enough to take in the tips of Aragón’s boots. Even at this small movement, Celina gave a little cry and burrowed further into her mother, her childish affect so at odds with her womanly body. Anjelina wiped at her face and held her arms wide for him to cross the dance floor and meet her in an embrace. After he broke with the Program, he adopted a new name and a new mission—The Nowhere Man, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. Eventually Evan wanted out after a decade of covert killing, no longer wishing to be a lethal weapon of the government.

Raul is a psychotic, surrounding himself with an arsenal of weapons, men, and violence that few can surpass. Joey Morales is a breath of fresh air and the perfect foil for serious Evan: every page that features Joey is pure entertainment.The one perfect thing he’d ever had a hand in creating, and now he was haunted by her very existence—her vulnerability in a world that contained men like him. He even keeps a lion to entertain himself and others when he decides to use it as a manner of death.

So when a man of somewhat dubious character seeks to engage Evan to bring back his kidnapped daughter, Evan doesn’t overthink his decision. Plenty of sassy dialogue, richly imagined settings and always a smattering of humour to create a fully rounded offering. X does not go by X when he helps people - he goes by the Nowhere Man and has done a lot of good for people and his myth only grows stronger and stronger.

As his trainer, Jack knew it was easy to train Evan to kill, but hard to have him retain his humanity. Anjelina flipped her high heels aside, and the men clapped and cheered and the women trilled and she was twirling and gliding, her lush brown curls washing across her eyes, gold locket bouncing just beneath her sparkle-dusted collarbones. Slumped bonelessly in a chair at the periphery, the Esposito boy watched from beneath his mother’s wing.

Taking the guards down non-lethally, Evan crept into the surprising simple home of Aragon Urrea, the “unconventional businessman” and put and knife to his throat. Bestseller Hurwitz melds non-stop action and high-tech gadgetry with an acute character study in this excellent series opener . Having just survived an attack on his life and the complete devastation of his base of operations, as well as his complicated (and deepening) relationship with his neighbor Mia Hall, Evan isn't interested in taking on a new mission. Dealing with ruthless drug lords, human trafficking, and a teenage hostage, on one hand, Mia, who has a health scare, and Joey, who has an emotional episode, on the other, is almost too much for Evan/ Orphan X/Nowhere Man. It's hard for me to qualify that though as like anything it is in my hand and the most fresh upon my mind.

However, Evan makes demands from Aragon when it comes to his drugs business that are non-negotiable if he is to help get Anjelina back.
