American Ghost #3
Requiem
Nothing and no one can stop assassin Nathan Stone.
When black-ops asset Nathan Stone took out the heads of the Commission, a secret deep-state organization, he thought he’d destroyed them for good. Now he’s gone off the grid, trying to get as far away from his past as possible. But the Commission isn’t done with him yet.
Lying low in a Miami bar, Stone knows something’s up when an alluring actress strikes up a conversation with him. His suspicions are correct. The Commission is hot on his trail, and Stone is soon forced to run deep into the heart of the Everglades with the terrified woman as his hostage. He’s the Commission’s number one target—and this time nothing will stop them from eliminating him.
But Nathan Stone is no ordinary target. The crew of mercenary assassins on his heels have no idea what’s in store for them on the River of Grass. Because the hunt is on, and they picked the wrong prey.

Since I enjoyed J.B. Turner's Jon Reznick series, I jumped at the chance to get an Advance Reader's Copy of Requiem. It didn't measure up to my expectations. The pace was frenetic, the plot twisty, but the characters were quite flat.
Nathan Stone and an actress flee across the Everglades and the Florida Keys from the nefarious secret group known as the Commission. The actress, Beatrice, has been unwittingly drawn into a Commission plot against Stone, which has marked her for death alongside him. I might have been interested in their fate if Beatrice had been believable, but none of her actions rang true.
Nor did the dialogue. First, it was repetitive; and second, there was so much of it! The two characters Nathan and Beatrice carried most of the action in the story, and most of their interaction was conversational. I lost count of the number of times they repeated the Very. Same. Argument. Island after Island.
I'm a conspiracy-fiction junkie, but this one left me cold.

This one did not keep my interest. Much of the dialogue seemed repetitive and the characters were not engaging. Stopped about half way through the book.

I thought the Jon Reznik series was pretty good, so I went into this one really wanting to enjoy it.
Alas, as other reviewers have stated, this book (and series) is extremely repetitive. Beatrice (the actress) is given absolutely no character development and bumbles through the story with the same complaints ad nauseum. Perhaps a little background on her would have provided a foundation as to why she was so frightened, or why she couldn't trust Stone, or why she hated those mosquitoes, or why she was boring us to tears with those repeating themes... I was ready to throw her to the crocs and gators myself.
If all her complaining was taken from the novel, there wouldn't be more than a scant few chapters of reading.

Mr Black
I have decided i don't like him but if course Me Turner is a very good author. With all the turns and switches he can make a book one you stay up all night. Read it. Read all his books. You will not be disappointed.

Another Great Thriller For My Bookshelf
4.5 out of 5 stars
JB Turner is able to write thrillers that stick with you. This time, Nathan Stone is thrown into the Everglades where humans are outnumbered by animals and people don’t thrive – but they just barely survive. He’s being followed and run down by his former employer and this time he’s brought someone along with him.
Turner is able to show a slightly different side to Stone in Requiem with the girl from the bar at the intro of the story. She’s chosen for certain reasons and (I believe) because of those he ends up showing a little bit of a softer side. Of course, there is still all of the Bourne-like assassin skills that they taught him on display but it’s really nice to see Stone growing as a character.
The whole book they were on the run and my heart was racing through the entire thing. I wasn’t sure how Stone was going to make it out alive. A few times I was pretty sure that it was it, but since Stone is a complete BA saves the day.
I think that Jeffrey Kafer’s narration adds another layer to this already pretty awesome story. He is able to portray Stone in a way that doesn’t seem overbearing or overacting. He’s mostly unemotional but still feels if that makes sense. And Kafer is able to catch the subtleties. A couple of times when Stone was interacting with the actress Kafer would sigh as Stone would when exacerbated by the situation he was in.
Overall, Requiem was another great story in the American Ghost series and another awesome thriller for my bookshelf.

The third book of the series but not an end to the tale. I thought being the third of three in the American Ghost stories that we would come to an end that gave some clarity & finality to Nathan Stone. Unfortunately, we don't get such clarity.
Indeed, I'm left feeling more ambivalent towards the main character than ever. He is still the killer he has always been, but perhaps not quite a stone cold one! However, the writer fails to convince this reader that he is a reformed character. This is because he's still killing throughout the book, although more out of self preservation than in the previous two books.
The story itself doesn't really help. Whilst I realise that this is fiction it still seems too far fetched to be realistic, even for a book. The other main character in the book doesn't elicited much sympathy & I don't understand why Nathan Stone doesn't just leave her for dead. At one point she herself describes her experiences during the previous few days as 'surreal.' I could not agree more.
I'm quite disappointed with this book & to a lesser extent the series. J.B.Turner is one of my favourite authors of recent times but I find the lack of characterisation in these books at odds with him normal high standard. I'm sure this book will appeal to some but just not to my taste on this occasion.

"Requiem (American Ghost No. 3)" starts in a bar when Nathan Stone meets a woman. Stone is an assassin who has broken ranks against his off-book government employers and remains in their sights. Author J.B. Turner created in Stone a sort of anti-hero. Stone is not a nice guy. He doesn't much care for anything beyond the safety of his sister and his own personal code. Turner starts the novel with Stone avoiding a trap. The woman isn't who she said she was. At that point, Turner turns on the steroid and amphetamine pills and doesn't stop. Stone must die, say his former handlers. He knows too much. Kill the woman, too, they say. Turner's introduction into the storyline of the woman shows a softer side of Stone. He's still hard core, and she thinks he'll kill her. But Stone senses something. He's fair. Those out to kill him deserve their fates, but collateral damage isn't cool. The woman doesn't trust the man she unknowingly was to help capture. She's a down-on-her-luck actress, thinking it was just a job. And it was. But the stakes were higher. Turner really impressed me with this novel, and American Ghost just keeps getting better. This was the best so far.

Pick of the Litter
This is the third and final book in the American Ghost series, and it's quite a ride. Nathan Stone is a unique man with a very unique skill set. He was trained to be the best assassin out there, doing his work silently and slipping into the shadows. But he wised up to what his handlers were doing and went rogue. Since then, he's been on the run while still keeping up with his sister to make sure the bad guys haven't found her.
Maybe it was the location. Maybe it was just because I had a pretty good idea of what to expect out of Stone at this point. Whatever the reason, this was the best book in the trilogy for me. When Stone realizes he's being set up in a Honey Pot operation, he grabs the girl and runs. Now he realizes he can't let the girl go--they'll kill her in an instant. If she's lucky. Stone and the Hollywood Bimbo wanna-be-starlet slog their way through the Florida Everglades in chapters I could completely picture. Jeez, what a hoot.
Fans of J.B. Turner (of whom there are many) as well as fans of political thrillers, spy-vs-spy, and street justice stories will enjoy the Nathan Stone, American Ghost series.

Book Review: Requiem (American Ghost #3) by J.B. Turner
Nathan Stone - ex-CIA covert operative, KIA; secretly revived, a ghost, No. 1 one stone-cold assassin of a deep-state U.S. organization to kill enemies of the establishment; turned rogue, turned against his masters, did major damage and now is being hunted.
Smartly takes a quiet spell, low-keyed, low profile, somewhere in Miami.
Finds an opportunity for human interaction with a beautiful woman though normally a man with few words. Like a human being for once, instead of a stone-cold killer.
Serene, almost romantic!
Except - they're in the Everglades, the marshes, the gators, the snakes, the isolation, the darkness, fighting for survival. In the River of Grass. In the Florida Keys. Because somehow, he's been found, chased and hunted!
He fights back!
Non-stop action, fast-paced, unputdownable, entertaining quick read. The author is earning top-ratings in this genre!
Review based on an advance reading copy provided by NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer and Amazon Publishing U.K.

I have enjoyed the development of the main character Nathan Stone. With each progressive book, you get to understand a little bit more about him. I find myself wondering if it is just pure luck, the way he is able to evade situations or if he really has an inherent ability to sense danger.
In this book, The Commission is determined to make sure that Nathan Stone is gotten rid of permanently. Yet, they have place limitations on how the deed is to be done. We find out a bit more about the commission, how it started and how high up the chain of command goes. I did feel that it failed a bit with the introduction of Catherine and her role in things. I felt that she was almost an un-necessarily character or at the very least too much was spotlighted on her and that part of the storyline remained under-developed before its conclusion. As far as I can tell, she is more of a 'fly-by' character who could have been addressed in a different manner.
However, having said all that, I am enjoying this series and look forward to the next book.

For the genre this book is meant to be an example of, it does its job remarkably well. As an action thriller it kept me enthralled for most of the time although the plotline is a familiar one. The conspiracy theories concerning the rogue actions of state secret service agencies, is a mainstay of one form literature and this is a good example of it. You don't expect much character development in such novels and I found the one-dimensional depiction of the woman at times irritating.
But the action flows and the ending is very much as expected. It probably would make quite a good film.
As far as I am concerned Turner is no Ludlum and the book doesn't reach the heights of one of his Bourne conspiracy novels. That is the ones he wrote and not the novels by the present pretenders.
I only discovered after reading this book that it was a third of a trilogy. That shouldn't matter to the judgments made above.

Let me firstly say that this book merited negative stars which I would have awarded if I could.
What a sheer and utter letdown. Reading this book has completely turned me off this author whom I had previously admired. The incessant verbal diarrahea with "Beatrice" gave me a headache. Just how many times was it repeated that she believed that he would kill her and then that she trusted him and then that she believed he would kill her again. It simply never stopped and blew all credibility out of the water. If he was consistent then he would have got rid of her at a very early stage and if not then, then when he woke up in the boat with her holding a gun to his head having set off the flares.
In summary Mr. Turner, this has got to be the worst effort and the least credible book that you have turned out and sadly, to me it was so disappointing that I have ceased being a follower of yours and will not purchase or read you again

One of the worst books I've ever read. Beatrice said Please, don't kill me, or something similar to it, 22 times, no matter how many times Nathan told her he wasn't going to hurt her. And 21 times he told her to "focus" every time she became hysterical. And they used the word "fuck" 182 times. AND the words they used were incredibly stupid and repetitive. No idea how this book ever got published.
At least he didn't laugh when he killed an innocent man, like he did in the first book. That should have told me something about his writing, or lack thereof, in the Nathan Stone stories.
As for the narrator: No way I would ever want to listen to Jeffrey Kafer again. Everyone sounds exactly alike, men and women, and he has no emotions at all. I don't know how he could ever get more than 1 star.

3 1/2 stars...I like the action, the plot, and the anti-hero. My one question - why is everyone that Stone runs into a COMPLETE MORON! Beatrice really...WTAF???? Who tries to run away in the middle of the Everglades. All this idiot does is cry and try to run into the arms of the people that actually want to kill her. Oh and she also keeps insisting he's going to kill her. I really, really wanted Stone to shoot her in the head and be done with her. She's sitting there calling Stone names, clawing at him and spitting on him like an IMBECILE and all he's doing is trying to keep her dumb ass alive. I took 1 1/2 stars off simply because Turner kept her alive and I almost had to stop reading because she was soooo incredibly STUPID and ANNOYING.

"Slipping"
This wasn't the best thriller I've read from this writer. There were elements that were crammed with the usual fast-paced action I've come to expect. There was a splash of intrigue as the Commission hierarchy began to clean house. The trouble was that by that time (40% of the way through) I was ready to murder Beatrice myself. I lost count of the number of times she asked Stone if he was going to kill her. Over and over, that conversation went, chapter after chapter with him trying to explain to her how much danger she was in. I hope this was a one-off aberration and things aren't slipping in the world of Nathan Stone.

The plot is unoriginal and has been done better by others. In short a government trained (and employed) assassin finds himself hunted by his own people who need to silence him because he knows to much.
'Requium' is predictable, uninspired and ultimately forgettable. At times the plot strains one's credulity and the author's reliance on characters somehow magically knowing what their opponent is thinking is faintly ridiculous.
I found it very difficult to empathise with the protagonist, a ruthless assassin who is barely human.
This book has few redeeming features although it is certainly 'action packed'.

Could not finish this book. The F*** bomb seemed to magically appear 3-4 times per page. Added no value. I know the author was trying to depict the "character" but it didn't work for me. Also, The author kept repeating the same feelings over and over again, in different words. Guess what .... we are smart people. We get it the first time. The plot idea was ok. but the storyline dragged. Bad guys after world class assassin .... who would kill anyone with no second thought .... yet out of nowhere seems to fall for weird girl who reminds him of his sister. Say what????? Many worthwhile novels to read ... don't waste anymore brain cells on this one.

I’m afraid this is the worst J B Turner book I have read. I enjoyed the Reznic Hard series but Stone the main character is flat and all three books in the series are basically the same regurgitated story and quite unbelievable. I ended up wishing the entire CIA / Commission weren’t so obviously incompetent and would kill stone and get it over with. Then as for the actresses Beatrice who’s character was so annoying even a pacifist would have shot her early in the book whereas are harden killer puts up with her pathetic whining. Glad Turner has had the good sense not to write any more of these turgid stories .

Absolutely amazing 3 books, I was hooked after reading the 1st one. Neglecting to drink & eat as I read on to find the outcome of book 2. Respite for me as I recharged my tablet in readiness to read the last book in this saga. All the books were fast moving with some get outs for the assassin being simple others more complex, one found oneself hoping the main cold killer got away from the ones trying to stop him.
I have written more than 20 words but the submit has not highlighted so I will just doodle. Star rating for these books a 5 out of 5.

Nathan Stone is awesome!
Love Nathan Stone. Hated Beatrice! Can’t stand weak, whiny female characters. Think he should have left her behind immediately & taken care of business! Her entire character was annoying (i would have gladly shot her myself)Catherine (another weak female character) was so dumb it was difficult to imagine how she made it to the level she was supposed to be in the CIA. If women are really like her in our Fed Agencies our nation is in trouble! Please keep Nathan alone on his missions or give him a female who has strength & brains!

So as a huge fan of J.B. Turner’s work, I had a bit of a struggle in the middle of the book. Good beginning and a great ending. It’s just that there is a main character who says a lot of the same stuff over and over again. It just doesn’t feel accurate with her character. Once you realize the situation you are in, you can accept it on a certain level, even if you don’t like it. So that type of repetitive complaining really slowed down the story for me. I almost... almost stopped reading the book. I’m glad I didn’t stop. The ending is really good! So hang in there, or ignore my feedback!

Loved all 3 books of the Ghost Thriller. Beatrice in this one was the biggest wuss!! What a whiner she was. The main character Nathan has been so incredible getting to know. It's like he is waking up from a long sleep and slowly becoming a real person. He is an amazing individual, so sharp and intelligent. So far ahead of anyone after him.
Love reading these books. So well thought out and so many steps ahead . Am enjoying these immensely!
Cannot wait to read all of them. Love the fast pace, the constant scenery changes and ongoing turmoil for everyone involved.

It was good.
The prior three got five stars from me, but this one only four because bringing in the girl was a little ridiculous. Her whining the same thing over and over seemed more like filler than part of a great story. Nathan has always been fine on his own, and I get this writer is changing the character from being a cold blooded killer to a man who kills only to survive, but this girl was an unnecessary player. It's still worth the read though.

I won this book in a giveaway. I enjoyed the story, but I had a difficult time relating to the characters and staying engaged.
This is my first book in this series, and perhaps I just need to get to know Nathan Stone a little better. I found the story interesting and I got through this book really quickly, but for me the characters fell a bit short. Still a good action/conspiracy novel, and I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to read more of this series.

Loved this book and the character, Nathan stone. I am totally hooked and cannot wait to read more!
From the first moment they met Beatrice has no clue what is going on and the fact that she looks like Nathan's sister is the only reason why Stone is going with her even though he knows it's got to be a trap.
Follow their adventure in this book, which is amazing.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Final book was irritating
I had a very hard time finishing this last boom. I thought there was way to much swearing. The plot was redundant and annoying. Beatrice made me want to kill her myself with all her shinning and foul mouth. The language turned me off because it felt like it was every other word. I wasn't that impressed with this whole series and don't believe I will read another book by this author.

It was good to see Nathan starting to show normal feelings although am not happy at his dependence on drugs (nor John Reznick in the other series ). Beatrice the actress nearly drove me crazy with her non stop whining- half the time would have been more than enough.The setting off the flare was stupid for someone with reasonable intelligence not withstanding her stress levels .Apart from reasons given, enjoyed the yarn.

A JBT. AAGTB-3. Novel About the Final Chapter of the Assassin
JBT. Has penned the third novel in the Nathan Stone saga. He and the woman are being chased throughout southern Florida. They are encountering hit teams but continue to slip through the net. When the woman is free he gives her money and sends her home. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

I like the character. He's growing as a person. But this particular book had a lot of repetitious dialogue that worked on your nerves after a while. I would actually give this book 3.5 stars because of that one issue. I will continue to read the series simply because I like the character though.
