This was an ok story. It interested me enough to read book 2 but then haven't got round to reading book 3.

John Resnick is amazing, one of my favourite characters to date. Definitely recommend.
The series as a whole is definitely worth reading.

I really had a difficult time getting into this story and the character. I am thinking because I am used to one of this author's other characters and could not get my thinking straight. Maybe others will enjoy this book for I do like his other character.

An interesting start to a series. Good storyline and introduction to Nathan stone. Will read the next in the series.

I read this book and was looking for something more, not sure what though, something didn't feel right. This was my first by this author, so a new writing style to get used to.
I think that Nathan Turner is a very difficult character to like, but I will persevere with the next one on my list.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and J, B Turner for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Rogue.
The storyline was well thought out and moves at a good pace. I did find it predictable, but I still thought it was a good read.

A year or so ago I came across a series of books written by J. B. Turner about his character John Reznick, a black ops operative who carries out assassinations for a secret government organization. Well written and easy to read I enjoyed them all. When I saw he had a new series coming out I at first thought it was more Reznick but instead discover Turner has come up with yet another black ops killer to set loose on the world, Nathan Stone.

While both characters have similar career paths, professional killers, they are nothing alike personally. Where Reznick possessed a moral compass that guided him in a different direction, Stone is more a pure psychopath formed over time and due to the circumstances of his abusive childhood. The best at what he does, Stone takes enjoyment from the cat and mouse games he plays with his prey and the ability to maneuver things to his advantage.

Thought to have been killed Stone was actually altered via plastic surgery to appear different. All of this was paid for by a group known as the Commission. Their goal is to shape the world the way they want it to be. Their most often used method to do so is by assassinating targets they deem harmful to their goals. To do so they employ the talents of men like Stone.

In this tale we’re introduced to Stone as well as learn what made him who he has become. The most major item in that category was his abusive father. Through that experience we’re introduced to his older sister who as a teen killed their father and has since been institutionalized in a mental health ward. She is the only thing Stone cares about and the Commission uses her situation, as well as reminding him of the cost it took to change his appearance, to manipulate Stone to do their bidding.

Their latest target is Senator Brad Crichton, outspoken against the Commission’s interest and on a trip to Scotland. Stone is brought in to assassinate the Senator and eliminate the problem. More issues arise when it’s learned that a journalist has been provided the hit list put together by the Commission, a list that he’s sent to Crichton’s female aide and lover who rushes to be with him. Now Stone has two targets. Will he follow through or will something change his mind? And will the Commission allow him to live once he follows through with his target?

The book reads easy and is a solid story that those who enjoy conspiracy novels will want to read. My only issue with the book (actually this and the second book RECKONING) is that Turner spends far too much time rehashing the events with Stone’s abusive father. If each provided some new insight I would have less of a problem but instead it felt like watching a loop of the same footage each time, almost like padding to extend the length of the book. Other than that the book kept me interested and looking forward to the next. Who knows, perhaps the paths of Stone and Reznick might one day cross.

This book is similar to the Bourne series. An assassin has been disappeared after nearly dying and now has no memory, a new face, name and job.
He must kill important people on a black ops kill list but then memories start to return and he goes Rogue.

Excellent story, fast paced and thrilling from the start.

I would highly recommend.

Have read several books by this author and have always enjoyed them. This book was no exception. I recommend this book.

From the first page to the last this book kept my interest. It's a great puzzle and thriller. When Stone is tagged for his first mission after dying it seems all will go to plan, but that's before all the problems that occur. After all when a group of men are deciding the fate of others what could possibly go wrong, right?

You'll like this if you like thriller and power trip books. I did. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

So glad I was able to review this book for netgalley. If you liked the Bourne series you will definitely love this. The government has a kill list and there is one in particular that needs to be killed as soon as possible. Enter in someone who has gone through brainwashing. Loved this and can’t wait for more

Really good thriller. I sat totally immersed in this book the whole way through. I really liked the amount of action packed into every page and that you could trust nobody. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Loved this book and devoured it in a day. Gripped from page one, tense, action packed, although Nathan being a hitman with no feelings he's a likeable character. Hope to see more books with Nathan Stone.

Completely thrilling and will keep you glued to every page until you have finished it. This book has so many twists and turns that you will never be able to guess what is going to come next. Terrific book

I was unsure about this book but I'm glad to say that I was wrong. The story was good and I hated having to leave it down. I'm on to the next book of the series and highly recommend reading Rogue. Thanks to the publishers and netgalley for letting me read the book to review.

One Saturday afternoon, after lunch, I sat down with my kindle with the idea to start reading ROGUE. I didn’t expect to spend the next few hours completely absorbed in this twisty novel without realizing the time passing by.

At the center of the novel there is a secret organization that gets rid of the people considered a risk for the good of the nation. A list of targets that somehow found its way to a journalist. A well-loved senator who doesn’t know he is on the list. A woman worried about her lover. And a secret agent who many believe is dead and who is struggling with memories from his troubled past.

Nathan Stone is a ghost. Everyone believes he is dead, including his sister. He has no ties. He has no feelings and kills without remorse. That’s why he is the perfect agent to kill a senator and make it look like an accident. It should be a clean, easy job, but the list of targets is leaked to a journalist causing a chain of events that quickly spiral out of control. Also, Nathan’s memories resourface making him doubt everything he knows.

This novel is told from different points of views and in short chapters, leaving the readers to catch their breath as everything happens quickly. The characters are very well-crafted, and I really liked the character of Nathan. He is a new Jason Bourne, a man struggling with his past and his identity, with what is right and what is wrong and I am really looking forward to reading more of his adventures.

The novel is fast-paced, everything happens in a few days, and it is set between the world capital of politics, Washington DC, and the beautiful and evocative highlands of Scotland. ROGUE is a gripping, unpredictable and completely engrossing action thriller and I’d like to thank Anne Cater and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a copy of the book and for letting me take part in the blog tour.

Fast moving thriller set mostly in Scotland. Not sure about the main character will see how he develops.

A fast paced thriller with lots of action. CIA agent Nathan Stone is in deep cover with all but a few thinking he is dead. This novel takes the reader to Scotland as Nathan is ordered to kill a U.S. Senator. Things aren't always as it appears in this high octane thriller. Recommended!

Nathan Stone is a ghost, a black ops assassin. He is currently assigned to take out a US Senator, it is a slow start, as the history of Stone is explained but does pick up nicely as the action kicks in. As he gets closer to the kill, things start going wrong and he becomes the hunted, as he cast aside by his bosses. It is hard to warm towards Stone, as he is a cold hearted killer. You do have some sympathy for him, as it does appear he is a programmed drone just doing his masters bidding. Will be interesting to see the direction book two goes with his character.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read Rogue by J.B. Turner and giving my review. This is my 3rd J.B. Turner book and I have got to say it does not disappoint! If your looking for a lot of action with some intrigue this is a good choice. Very relatable characters that you come to know and like. Well worth reading! I will be looking for the next one from this writer!
