Rogue (An American Ghost Thriller Book 1) di J. B. Turner

Rogue was OK. Here, we meet Nathan Stone, a former military operative who was "killed" but brought back to life and is now used as a high-end hitman. The problem I have with Stone, and all the other characters, is that he's in no way likable. He and his sister had been beaten mercilessly by his drunken father until his sister killed him. So there's some empathy there. But Stone doesn't care who he kills.

He's assigned by The Committee, a rogue, private group of military and business leaders who look to kill those who want to slow down the military industrial complex, to kill a libertarian US senator. We find out pretty early on what's in store for Stone, though, so what follows isn't all that surprising.

I have started the 2nd book but so far it's pretty predicable. I hope Stone starts making conscious-based decisions but I'm not too encouraged so far. If he doesn't, I'll stop reading the series.… (altro)

Hard Kill (A Jon Reznick Thriller Book 2) di J. B. Turner

Another good story, but it's odd that we still know so little about the main character. We learn far more about the antagonists via intelligence gathered during the investigation but almost nothing about Reznick.

Hard Road (A Jon Reznick Thriller Book 1) di J. B. Turner

Pretty decent thriller. I must admit it took awhile to read but this is no fault of the book itself; therefore, my review won't contain many details. I will say it was clear the writer isn't American as there were times when American characters used words and phrases more appropriate on the other side of the Atlantic. This isn't a huge deal but easily fixable. Maybe get an American editor?

Still, I'm interested enough in the main characters to continue the series.
