I first discovered Rob and his brilliant books a few years ago now. I haven't read everything that he has written to date but that is something that I hope to rectify in the not too distant future. I read the synopsis of 'Rogue Hero' and it certainly sounded like the sort of book I have come to expect from Rob - a fast paced, action packed thriller with more than a twist or two. Well 'Rogue Hero' was certainly all that and so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Rogue Hero' but more about that in a bit. It's no exaggeration to say that I was hooked on 'Rogue Hero' from the synopsis alone. As soon as I started reading the story itself, well that was it. I knew that I wouldn't be doing anything other than reading for the rest of the afternoon because I knew that I wouldn't be able to put the book down for any length of time. My Kindle wasn't exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it went everywhere with me. It was as if the book had developed a hold over me and it was a hold that I wasn't willing to break. I found the relationship between the brothers to be rather interesting and I was eager to find out more about them. I also had to keep reading to see if the story was going to play out as I suspected it would. The more of the book that I read, the more I wanted to read and the quicker the pages seemed to turn. I was so wrapped up in the story and in the lives of the different characters that I didn't realise just how quickly the time was passing or how quickly I was turning the pages. All too quickly I reached the end of 'Rogue Hero'. I found 'Rogue Hero' to be a gripping, tense and dramatic story which certainly kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. 'Rogue Hero' is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Rob Sinclair. Rob certainly knows how to grab the reader's attention and draw them into what proves to be one hell of a story and then some. For me, the story hit the ground running and maintained a fast pace throughout. I honestly felt as though I had landed in the middle of a Hollywood blockbuster movie whilst I was reading 'Rogue Hero'. Rob's characters are so well planned, vividly and realistically described that the characters seemed just as real as you and I. Reading 'Rogue Hero' felt like being on an unpredictable and scary rollercoaster ride with more twists and turns to it than you would find on a 'Snakes & Ladders' board. Just when you thought that you could take a minute to catch your breath and gather your thoughts then off the action would go again. I love the way in which Rob makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story and at the heart of the action. That's how I felt anyway. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Rogue Hero' and I would definitely recommend it to other readers. I hope to read much more of Rob's work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

It's an action-focused thriller that begins with a dramatic shootout. From the dual viewpoints of brothers Finn and Curtis, it explores what led to the incident and what happened afterwards. Whilst many of the characters, including the protagonists, are unlikeable, this doesn't detract from the story's complexity, contemporary relevance and adrenaline-rush drama. It's a challenging read; the dual viewpoint and dual timeline approach demand concentration. I like the characterisation, the relevant plot and the use of sensory imagery to bring the story to life. I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

This isn't my typical type of book but I decided to give it a shot based off the description and I'm glad I did. This is an action packed page turner and a very entertaining read. Right from the start I was interested in the story and I was interested to find out why this mystery man would stop an assassination attempt and what his motives were. I loved the fact that Curtis recognizes the hero as his estranged brother and was interested to learn how the book would turn out. Great storytelling and kept me turning the pages. Thank you Net Galley and Boldwood Books for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have read a number of Rob's previous books and have thoroughly enjoyed them and this one was no exception; it kept me engaged from start to finish. A US Senator is saved from assassination by an unknown hero who disappears. Curtis Delaney, a lawyer, recognises the hero as his estranged brother, Finn and so begins his search to find him. Curtis comes into contact with plenty of nefarious characters in several countries which puts not only his but others lives in danger. Rob really knows how to write a thriller with fantastic characters, a thrilling plot, great pace and twists and turns and I would recommend this and his other books. Many thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.

Well this was all things a bit convoluted and interconnected.. but, despite it being a bit over the top in places, it was jolly good fun! In a good way! So... we start with Curtis Delaney watching news footage of an assassination attempt on a politician. In it, he sees a "mystery bystander" play hero, saving the day before disappearing off. This incident sparks a hunt for the unidentified hero. Unidentified to all but Curtis though, as he clearly recognises his estranged brother Finn, despite not having any contact with him for six odd years. This causes him a bit of a dilemma as, the Finn he remembers is no hero. Which then leads Curtis to turn his back on his life - wife, job, friends - and, well, try and find Finn... Now this is the bit I struggled with. Curtis is a lawyer, and has his own dubious methods of doing things, taking shortcuts, all that stuff, but I can't quite understand his motivation for wanting to find his brother. Especially given what happened last time they met. Especially with what he was prepared to sacrifice to do so... But, in order to carry on, I just had to accept he knew why he was doing it, so I did and what happened next was fast paced, action packed, present linking with past, well plotted narrative which, once it got going, didn't let up until the very end. Which, I am happy to say, was worth the steps I took to get there! Yes, I might have other niggles about the implausibility of some of the things that happened in this book, but they aren't major and at least they were included to progress the plot and/or speak to character definition. To be honest though, I didn't really like Curtis, although I'm not sure I was supposed to, but in this genre book, it does help to have some affection for the main character. I didn't and it was OK but not brilliant. Aside from this book, this author is one of my favourites. His Enemy series was imply superb, as was the one it segued into, featuring James Ryker, and we also have Dani Stephens and the Sleeper books. All cracking reads which is why this one was a bit of a disappointment for me. Not quite hitting the mark, but at the same time, was my bar set too high...? My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.
