Rogue Thriller #4
Judgement by Fire
WHEN MEMORY FAILS, INSTICT BECOMES LETHAL.
Perennial USA TODAY & Amazon 6-million copy bestselling authors DAVID ARCHER and BLAKE BANNER have joined forces once again to create one hair-raising explosion of carnage and intrigue!
What is a man with no memories? Who is a man with no identity?
He is Rogue.
He has seen the photographs, the house and the Jaguar, but none of it means anything. The man called Kristos even told him his name, but he knew it was a lie. He killed Kristos, and with Kristos died his last hope. Even his DNA was classified top secret.
He now has just one option open to Find the FBI director who classified his file and demand an answer. But then that director asks Rogue the same question which had been Kristos’ mantra of madness. Where is Susan’s research?
Susan, the woman he had loved, the woman for whom he had betrayed his wife, the woman who had discovered a secret so terrible she and her children had perished for it, the woman whose death had obliterated his memory and set him on a path of cruel and barbaric revenge.
One thing then becomes he must find Susan’s research and uncover its secrets. Even if, like Susan, he must die for it. His search will lead him back to LA, where it all began, from there to the blazing deserts of Mexico and, ultimately to death itself.
This is a high-octane thriller that'll both keep you on the edge of your seat and your heart-pounding! Perfect for fans of Bourne, Reacher, and Rapp!

Don't quite know what to say about this
It's interesting.
It has some interesting characters, some of whom behave like they have been written write out of the details of the DSM, the mental health diagnostic manual.
Then there's the weird ending where this book seems like it should be the last in the series but I'm pretty sure there's a couple more ... well, there's not. This is the end. Wish there were more..

Enthralling storyline
Superb reading, the background information pulls you in and ultimately leads the reader step by step to finally reveal the real identity of Rogue. Along the way to finding out who he is there is a long list of people who are involved in the drug cartels that end up dying.

Very confusing story
Does not make a lot of sense unless you have read the previous books, even then needs to be read straight after, I have read all three but have read similar in between,really this not very well written story which I have struggled to understand in parts.

Terrific Story
I liked the continuing action. Ok, some is a little unbelievable, but I liked story and characters! I highly recommend it and look forward to seeing the next neat books.

First time reading this "Rogue Thriller". Will be my last one. Had no reference to who this guy was, had no idea what the story was really about and the ending was quite abrupt and quite silly. Lots of killing and gratuitous violence which at times seemed schizophrenic. Not a memorable read.

This was a good read with plenty of action and a plot that linked nicely with the 3 previous books in the series. Ultimately however, things got a bit complicated and convoluted resulting in a conclusion that seemed a bit hurried and not in keeping with the previous books.

More please! Thrilling adventures. A must read if you're a Rogue fan.
I hated it when I had to take reading breaks for real life. Dod not want to put it down. Constantly moving into situations that topped the last. You will, not leave disappointed

Judgement by Fire
What a great series! Had me hooked till the end, plus I really enjoyed the ending. Per my last review, I wish there were more books in the series. I enjoy both writers separately and the collaboration was great!

John Harrison
Rogue, John Harrison is getting his life back, with Jane. Rogue was a bit destructive. Fast paced, likable main characters. Incongruous situations Rogue always got out of, with severe injuries untreated. All part of the story. Thanks, Blake and David. NEXT!!!

The author wrapped the series too quickly. I still had a lot of questions that were left unanswered.
