About This Audiobook

Gregg Hurwitz's Out of the Dark is a gripping thriller that masterfully weaves together a complex web of espionage, loyalty, and betrayal, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The story expertly navigates Evan Smoak's troubled past, where he was trained as part of the Orphan Program, a clandestine operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets - or assassins. Scott Brick's performance brings this high-octane narrative to life, delivering each twist and turn with precision and skill. His measured pace and deep, resonant voice perfectly capture the intensity of Evan's struggles and the stakes of his missions.

One of the standout features of this audiobook is its ability to balance action and introspection. Brick's narration masterfully conveys the emotional depth of Evan's character, making his complex emotional state feel deeply relatable. This balance is key to making Out of the Dark feel more than just a thriller - it's a character study that happens to be set against a backdrop of high-stakes espionage.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I'll be the first to admit that I went into this audiobook with high expectations, and Gregg Hurwitz delivered. Scott Brick's performance is the perfect complement to the story - he brings a sense of gravity and weight to the narrative that makes it feel even more intense. At times, I felt like I was right there with Evan Smoak, dodging bullets and making split-second decisions to survive. The pacing of this audiobook is expertly handled, with a perfect balance of action and downtime to keep the tension building. If I have one complaint, it's that the supporting cast feels a bit one-dimensional at times - we don't get a lot of backstory or character development beyond Evan and a few key players. Still, this is a minor quibble in what is otherwise a masterfully crafted thriller. If you're a fan of the genre, do yourself a favor and check this one out.
