A deep-state US organization has a top-secret kill list—and a popular senator is on it.

Nathan Stone was killed in action while serving as a covert CIA operative. Or so everyone thought. In reality he’s become a ghost, a black-ops asset with a new identity and controlled by a secret government organization. The Commission has one aim: to hunt down and assassinate anti-establishment enemies of the state.

Its number-one target is Senator Brad Crichton, an ambitious politician with growing support. Stone is ready to take him out, but his plan is soon compromised when the Commission’s kill list is leaked to a journalist—whose own name is on the list too. And when the journalist tries to alert the senator, he is found dead in suspicious circumstances. Stone is closing in on Crichton, but must act swiftly to reach him before the truth does.

He knows that one wrong foot will put him in the firing line. But where national security is at stake, the hunter can quickly become the hunted.

Review

"Rogue is a high-octane thriller in the style of the Bourne films . . .an action-packed conspiracy thriller." - The Crime Novel Reader"From the very beginning of this book I was hooked...The words leapt off the pages at a fast rate ...I loved Nathan Stone the lead, a Jason Bourne type killer who had a troubled past and was trained by the US to serve his country as they needed him to...This really is a cracking book." - Books & Blogs"The characters are very well-crafted, and I really liked the character of Nathan. He is a new Jason Bourne...ROGUE is a gripping, unpredictable and completely engrossing action thriller." - Book After Book

Not what I expected from this author.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

I did not like the plot that did not feel right. Some of the characters felt kind of contrived and unreal. Too many decent people were killed by government military black ops people who want to influence politic with violence and killing. Almost what is happening in own country.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This got my not so easily given 4 star rating, mainly because I didn't have to backtrack time and again to follow the plot and keep track of who is who. Personally I like a fairly straight forward story, with a few loops and twists of course, but contiguous reading. It was a strong contender for my 5 star rating, but lost that on account of the main character not having much depth, and frankly not very likeable.

It also nearly got my 3 star rating when traveling from Poland into the US was described. It might be one thing to travel around the EU with EU passports, but the author should try something like that with a Polish passport today. He will have time for another series while in detention for deportation if he is lucky.

I have filled 8 passports during my nearly 30 years traveling the world. Suffice to say I know travel and I have watched it change over 3 decades. I was waiting in anticipation to see how the main character would get back into the US. That didn't cut it for me. Also the author has a very mistaken belief that it's easy to disappear in London. If there is any city in the world where you can be found by authorities it is London. It's camera coverage is unbelievably extensive and facial recognition algorithms are far too advanced to be fooled by facial hair.

So this bOK skimmed through on the skin of it's teeth to my 4 star rating and I am willing to give the next in the series a try. Hopefully the author takes some tips from me here about cities and entering the US. I too have a British passport and that is one thing, but a Polish knockoff? I don't think so. Nonetheless I recommend this book for an easy evening read.

Two halves, first have slow and boring.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2023

Although the first halve was deadly slow, the second half picked up considerably. Sure, the characters have to be developed but this was not well done.

Another will written action packed adventure thriller novel by J. B. Turner (An American Ghost Thriller book 1). About top secret documents that lead to the assassination of a U.S. Senator and his assistant in Scotland. The assassin who has been targeted for murder turns the tables. Continued in book 2. I would recommend this novel to readers of political adventure mysteries. Enjoy the adventure of reading or listening. 2022 😮👒😡

I enjoyed reading this story. A quick and easy read with very dark characters in very dark places. The senator's wife may be the only one not heavily flawed.

Intriguing and exciting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Sort of a slow start, but this is a good start of what has potential to be a series as good as Reznik! Nathan Stone is a kid that grew up hard. Drunk father that would beat him and his sister, who finally turned around and killed him. Of course, that means she is taken away while Nathan winds up in foster care who did nothing to psychologically help him! Now he's a stone, cold killer and has been betrayed by the only people he trusted. Scary dude! Great read!

Convoluted plot keeps you guessing where it goes next. Story is interesting because it lacks a believable storyline. The nature of the Commission is thoroughly beyond possible

Adventurous! But completely frictional

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

Sometimes fiction is over the top, and turns to preposterous and turns people away from the story. Such is the case with this book.
Three incidents in the story ruin it for me:
1. AN EMP rifle small enough to fit in a backpack?!?! There isn't a chance in Hell. But even if it was true, and the accuracy was capable of delivering a pulse of sufficient quality and strength to cause a heart attack, it would have caused severe burns on the skin.
2. Scaling a sheer cliff with broken ribs only two days ago isn't possible even with the best drugs available!
3. And I feel this is the worst stretch of the imagination is the Fentanyl grenades. This is total BS! Fentanyl would kill almost all people who are exposed. If inhaled, virtually instantly, but it would also be absorbed by the body's skin.
I enjoy a good book and admire an active imagination, but keep it somewhat believable!

One of the most unsympathetic lead characters in living memory

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'd read some of JB Turner's books before this and I was looking forward to a new series from him. I can't help thinking that he has made a massive error of judgement with this latest incarnation of Nathan Stone. I like an anti-hero as much as anyone but Nathan Stone, here is portrayed as an utter psychopath. We are supposed to sympathise with his terrible upbringing and treatment by those who control him. Then we are asked to empathise with his love for his sister but when weighed in the balance with the utter inhumanity with which he conducts himself I felt nothing but loathing for the man. He has no redeeming qualities and I will certainly not be buying another book by JB Turner.

A nasty little tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

This nasty tale was compulsively readable. I have to allow that. It was realistic and well narrated. On the negative side, there were hardly any likeable characters to identify with. The only half-decent one was murdered and buried in a shallow grave. The setting, mostly in the wilds of Scotland, was convincing. As for influence, it was like a compilation of Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher, with a touch of RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) thrown in. In short, not the most inspiring of books.

Not for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Well at least it was a short read. But no - implausible we expect with hero/villain type books but I felt that this had the quality of a boys comic rather than a decent adult read. Not sure if Nathan Stone is meant to evoke sympathy but he is a psycopath who kills for thrills - not interested at all in buying book two.

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

This story is powerful. I can't help feeling sorry for Nathan Stone - even though he is a cold, calculated, killer. Makes me wonder if this happens in the real World. Travelling back and forwards to Scotland, I have a great knowledge of the Crags, hills, and Mountains, and I give the Author great credit on her description of the climb, and scenery. Just bought Book 2.
