Memphis is a powder keg. Bob Singleton just lit the fuse. Ex-CIA assassin, Bob Singleton, is in Memphis when his past catches up with him – a former Russian operative, Alexi, recognizes Bob from the old days. Now a gangster, Alexi needs an elite killer to take out a rival and he knows he won’t find better than Bob. Alexi kidnaps a friend of Bob’s and makes him an offer he can’t refuse – you’ll see your friend again if you kill my enemy, Victor. Bob has no choice but to play for time and accept the job. Problem is, Victor is not an easy target. An eminent Russian mobster, he is well protected by a ruthless gang who will kill anyone who looks sideways at their boss. He’s also the target of a high-level FBI investigation and the Feds need Victor to keep on breathing. As the war between Alexi and Victor turns explosive, Bob finds himself caught in the middle, taking on what seems like the entire Russian mafia. He’ll need every one of his lethal skills if he is to stay alive and save his friend. The city on the Mississippi is hot as hell in summer… and it’s about to get a whole lot hotter. Dead Drop — the next installment in a stunning new action thriller series.

My first and not my last book by Ian Loome. This book was packed full of action and will he or won't he. Enjoyable from start to finish.

Bob Singleton has now arrived in Memphis but from the time he arrives at a gym to retrieve a key to the time he leaves, he is fighting or working at getting his friend out of being kidnapped. It starts simple but this book is go, go, go from start to finish. When a Russian sees Bob and remembers him from a mission that Bob did and Bob let him live, now he wants Bob to take out another Russian mobster the head guy and while doing so he takes Bob’s friend. This is not so simple because he has stumbled upon an F.B.I. investigation and then the people after Bob now have sent someone after him as well. There is plenty of action and a good story to keep you interested in this book. Good characters and very much worth the read.

Bob is back in action and now Memphis is going to feel his wrath.

Bob just wanted to look in on an old friend and boxing coach. But once again his covert black-ops past has caught up with him and friend is kidnapped in an effort to leverage Bob into taking out a Russian Mobster.

Alexi wants Victor take out so that he can get the business and also the girl - never mind what the girl herself actually wants! So now Bob has to dodge Russian Mobsters, the FBI and a very irate friends wife!

I really enjoy this series, Bob just wants a simple life but fate seems to want him to keep getting involved in one high octane situation after another! I was happy to see Bob calling on the talents of some of his former team-mates - he's no longer the lone wolf he once was. I did get a bit lost when the narrative sunk to much into "guns n ammo" talk but otherwise this was a fast paced, well plotted thriller.

Easy and entertaining read with a lot of action. No literary masterpiece, but it is what the label says.

Bob Singleton is back in Dead Drop an new Rogue Warrior book by Ian Loome. I find this series entertaining and well written there is only the small thing of the use of this amazing centerfire cartridge that Bob uses. Give it a rest, most ammunition is centerfire and it doesn't make it extra lethal. I know it is not easy with all the weapon details but using this term as some sort of special kind of ammunition instead of mentioning the things that actually sets his gun apart from others is not helping the reader. I try not to pick on gun details but sometimes it's so wrong I can't help myself. I did however enjoy the book and the ongoing story of Bob trying to stay under the radar from his former employers when at the same time he gets involved in different kinds of trouble along the way. I already am curious to see what will happen in the next book in this series. I can recommend the works of Ian Loome. I also must thank Inkubator Books and Netgalley for giving me this advance copy.

I enjoyed this book. It figures the typical military vet who trying to do good but everything goes cockeyed. I like how the characters are developed, you get a good sense of who they are and feel for them. I particularly liked Norm and his wife. The action scenes feel real like they. Could have happened. I do feel sad for Bob as nothing is really resolved for him and he doesn’t know what to do. #DeadDrop #NetGalley
