CBailey31With this being my first J.B. Turner book that I have read I went into this with an open mind. I had no idea of his writing or story telling. I was really looking forward to reading this though after reading what it was about.From the very beginning of this book I was hooked. You were straight into the action and the scene was set. I love books like this where you are not having to read a quarter of the book to just get your bearings. It was just boom... He is to be killed, here is our
DNF 50%I don’t feel like diving into details but most of the characters were flat with one identifying feature. The assassin was written almost exclusively in exposition. Like full on pages of exposition and the occasional dialogue from a superior to say something Stone already knew but the reader didn’t like he finished top in the class in some specific survival or training program—why would he need to be reminded of that? I’m sure Mr. Assassin already knows he’s qualified to kill people. Like
I’m not sure how to rate this new series, American Ghost’s first book. I think it has promising story but the characters are quite flat.Nathan Stone is a troubled coldblooded killer. He has every thing every top super assassin needs; strength, resilient, brain and so on and the plot only accentuate those ability to no end. Well, not sure if I like him, yet. Another thing that really irritated me is the naivety of Stone’s boss and other high ranking characters including senator Crichton. I hate i...
Nathan Stone did what he was told. He picked up the gun and shot the man in the head. He didn't know the man's identity. He just did what was expected. He's a killer. But there's more to Stone than what his employers want. And they know what they want out of him is dangerous. That's why they employ a psychologist to analyze everything about his behavior and submit regular reports. They don't want mistakes. But J.B. Turner titled his first novel in the American Ghost series "Rogue" for a reason.
Adventurous! But completely frictionalSometimes 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...
Book Review: Rogue (An American Ghost Thriller #1) by J.B. TurnerThis is a well-written book, easy to speed-read and finish in a day or two, with a rather familiar plot where the protagonist is left for dead, has facial surgery and becomes both the executioner and a pawn, whose actions are controlled by insidious, powerful men in a deadly assassination scheme against perceived enemies. Major snag due to (wait for it...) a leak to the media! Part "Star Chamber", part "Face/Off", part "Jason Bourn...
Rogue is book one in the American Ghost series by J. B. Turner. Nathan Stone was assumed dead by his friends and family, and it was not the case he was a black-ops assassinate, and his target was Senator Brad Crichton. However, when a secret kill list disappeared and handed over to a top journalist, Nathan Stone assignment started to unravel. The readers of Rogue will continue to follow the twist and turns to see if Nathan Stone finished his task. Rogue is the first book I have read of J. B. Tur...
This is an all action adventure. A deep cover agent is working to kill an American senator and his girlfriend, whilst they are on a remote Scottish island. I found this book entertaining but completely predictable. The best thing about it was the action – the pace didn’t let up and I thought the overall plot was pretty good. What let the book down was the utter shallowness of the characters. They are all stereotypes, and, as the body count rises and the rogue agent carries on down his relentless...
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!
The Rogue is and absolute cracker in my Mind J.B. Turner has done what he does every timewe get a new offering i haven't been into good reads for a few days i wont talk about the book having read all of his books I am and ardent follower and i am on his mailing list so went and put it on my Kindle pronto I wait patiently know for the sequel (American Ghost #2)if you like a high velocity thriller this is for you .5 well earned stars
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
Rogue is a high-octane thriller in the style of the Bourne films. If you like that kind of book or film, then you’re sure to like this. Nathan Stone was killed in action while serving with the CIA. At least that’s what everyone thought. In reality, he was whisked away by a semi-private concern, The Commission, an organisation sponsored by shady billionaires and run by former black ops military officers. He’s now an assassin tasked with eliminating people deemed to be a threat to vital American i...
