Bob Singleton is now in New Orleans to visit the parents of one of the former members of his team. Upon arriving he sees a man knockout a guy who appears to be a biker and when he gets closer sees that it is the father of his friend. He then finds out that the biker gang has been stirring up trouble and for some reason, they have been buying homes in the neighborhood. Bob begins to look into it and that starts the mess that begins and ends with Bob. A really good book that does not end with action until the last pages. Very much worth the read.
This was a good story which kept me turning the pages throughout the night. Great mystery, writing and plotting will recommend to all my friends who love this genre.
Blood Debt by Ian Loome
Rogue Warrior #2
Bob was a boy when his father started to teach him hunting and survival skills and though it was not his favorite thing to do, he became very VERY good at it. These skills would help Bab Singleton as he became a US Marine and then later in his position working for the CIA in black ops.
Bob was introduced in the first book as a homeless alcoholic on the streets for nearly a decade. He proved to be brilliant, quick, and deadly with an unquestionable moral compass. At the end of the book, he had righted some wrongs, taken out some bad guys, and was running for his life with a price on his head. He was a man to reckoned with. As this book begins, we see a decades younger Bob in the woods playing survival and hunting games created by his father - games that provide skills that will set him up to do well in the future both as a Marine and later in special black operations for the CIA.
When Bob shows up in New Orleans to give something to the parents of Jon Rice, a former teammate, ot was, meant to be a quick stop but instead he finds himself being pulled into preventing a plot to blockbust the community where Jon’s mother and stepfather live. There are motorcycle thugs, an unscrupulous lawyer, and a foreign-born casino owner in on the plot that need to be dealt with before Bob can head on down the road.
Will Bob be able to keep Wanda and Don safe while thwarting the blockbusting plot and if so, what will it require of him – mentally and physically? Who will be there that he can call on for help if anyone? And will he be able to determine what is required to solve the problems he is facing in New Orleans while also staying ahead of the people sent to take him out by the CIA?
This was an action-packed, fast-paced, thrill-ride from beginning to end. Once on the rollercoaster it was difficult to disembark for both Bob and for me. I would gladly tag along on Bob’s next adventure when it is made available.

This second book continues with Bob an ex CIA and other good characters that I enjoyed reading. He is on the run from a former employee, running into more problems with the bad guys along then. It is full of mayhem and chuckles as well as a good plot to enjoy. Given arc by. Net Galley and Inkubator for my voluntary review
Easy and entertaining read with a lot of action, which isn't always of the smart kind. It's good when an author gets the facts straight, and unfortunately there are some misses here. But it is entertainment.
Blood Debt is book 2 in A Rogue Warrior Thriller by Ian Loome.
And now I need book one because this action thriller was an absolute great story.
The author has created an interesting, realistic set of characters, and placed them in a believable and frightening plot.
I enjoyed this book very much. It has a lot going for it, an exciting adventure, great characters, moral and personal stakes, as well as a great plot which I could certainly see happening.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.
Plenty of action in the 2nd book of the Rouge Warrior series and Bob is not playing nice. Good cast of characters, plot, and not a dull moment throughout the book. Bob is a former CIA Black Ops member and has to deal with some bad people while on the path of redemption.
Hope for more in this series and I have to thank Netgalley and Inkubator Books for the ARC of this book.
Bob Singleton is a man with flaws and deadly talents. He's still attempting to find some redemption for her former Black Ops CIA days and this has led him to New Orleans. He's there to visit an old team-mate's mother and he arrives just in time to get involved in some trouble!
Bob is such a great character. His flaws, his pain and his talent for trouble just add layers to his personality. He's very Reacher-esque in that he travels solo, very light and is essentially a one man investigation team! I loved watching as he took down the Biker Gang terrorising the neighbourhood, piece by piece. When you think he's going to permanently remove an opponent, he zigs and just puts an intense crimp in his dealings! But don't worry there are still plenty of things that go boom and bad guys who bleed!
Can't wait to see what happens when he moves on again!
Blood Debt by Ian Loome is the second story about Bob Singleton and he is growing on me, it's a funfilled action series with some great characters.Bob is an ex CIA assassin on the run from his former employer and they spare nothing to find him. Along his way he stumbles upon bad guys and good guys and he feels he needs to help the good ones out. This leads to trouble. I discovered this author recently and he actually has been around for a while and some of his work is under other pen names, some of those being published under the Loome name. This time he is on his way to meet the parent of one of his old team mates when a biker gang some drug dealing and an evil developer / casino owner gets in the way. This leads to mayhem. I must thank Netgalley and Inkubator Books for letting me read this avance copy.
