"THINK BOURNE. THINK BOND. THINK BAUER. THINK BETTER" - Nothing like raising expectations! The author tries to blend a number of things here, Bourne, Robin Hood and a bit of Mission Impossible and, in my view, none of them really work and it all ends up as a bit of a mess. Far too many unanswered questions or lack of logic that you are not supposed to notice because of the pace of the book. Robin Monarch is a CIA operative (ex special forces of course!) with a history rooted in an Argentinian criminal community (but it's all right - he's a good guy really). On an operation he sees something that makes him resign and then go rogue. Throw dodgy CIA activities, conspiracy plots, the Russian Mafia, dictators and all sorts of stuff, mix them up badly and you end up with Rogue. It just lacks logic and tension and at times is so silly it makes you laugh. Don't take this one seriously and if you love the Bourne stories, avoid this. In fact this should probably be avoided anyway unless you have very undemanding tastes or want to read something light and forgettable. Maybe I am being harsh, but some of the reviews and the over the top cover blurb may give you the impression this is an intelligent thriller. It ain't.
