Publisher's summary

Mark Sullivan has created a propulsive, compelling new thriller. Rogue, is one part Bourne Identity and one part Mission: Impossible, but listeners will also love the nod to Hitchcock’s It Takes a Thief. Two years ago, Robin Monarch was a top level CIA operative—perhaps the best they had when it came to black bag operations. Then one day, in the middle of an operation, with his team around him in the field, Monarch walked away, leaving his old life and friends behind without a word of explanation. Now this ex-soldier, ex-operative, and orphan with a murky past is a thief, stealing from the super-rich and has surfaced in St. Tropez. But when a complicated, high profile jewel heist goes wrong, Monarch is led into a carefully woven trap designed to force him to complete the very same mission he walked away from years ago. It will take all of his skills (as well as those of the team he burned) and all of his cunning, if Monarch is to thwart the violent and deadly goals of the very powerful cabal who will do whatever it takes to bring the very dangerous "Green Fields" technology under their control.

Critic reviews

"A true juggernaut of a thriller, pure adrenaline in print. With the creation of Robin Monarch, Sullivan has crafted a Jason Bourne for the new millennium." (James Rollins)

Great Story, great characters!

If you could sum up Rogue in three words, what would they be?

Masterful, intriguing, actionpacked.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rogue?

There are plenty of memorable moments, but of the many I can think of, the dropping off of the one who caused the whole mess, in "el ano".

What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I could listen to Gurner read the NYS vehicle and traffic law. Jeff excells at creating the voices of the characters and just has an energy about telling the story. The guy is a narrating genius.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Something over dramatic like "Rogue; Thief of thieves"

Poorly written PC novel. Sorry I purchased it.

Characters are one demensional. Couldn't figure out why such a poor story was published until the end. It was all driving towards being left slant drivel without backing it up with a good story and good characters.

Story line seems same as others

It lacked originality. I kept thinking is this a MIP story. It was still a good listen but not great.

Must be a relative of Court Gentry

What other book might you compare Rogue to and why?

This reminds me of The Gray Man books. Lots of action, around the globe travel, espionage and conspiracies galore. Really good story and great start to a new series.

What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jeff Gurner does a great job with this book. His many voices are perfect and thoroughly enjoyable.

Who was the most memorable character of Rogue and why?

Robin Monarch of course.

Any additional comments?

I was hesitant about purchasing this book. I've never heard of it or the series but it was on sale so I thought I would give it a try. So glad I did and my next purchase will be Book 2.

I’m hooked!!!

Spy novels as they should be.

The right kind of intelligence with action that is realistic.

The narrator is my favorite, big bonus.

Liked it enough to get another in the series.

This book has the feel of one written by the numbers. Even so, it is well done. Another way to say it would be, the author is not working to create great literature. He is working to be commercial and entertaining. With that, he succeeds. I enjoyed the story. It was not my favorite, but it was pleasant. If you enjoy stories built around intrigue, action, CIA shenanigans and international settings, you will enjoy this. I am not in a hurry to do so, but I am sure I will purchase more books in this series.

Predictable and shallow but still entertains

Any additional comments?

Just so shallow. Poor character development. Much like a poor quality action flick with second rate actors that you might watch on a night at home when nothing else is on. There seems to be a bunch of action series audio books available on Audible, like the Mitch Rapp series for example. This one is no worse or better, but it sure does not make me want to purchase the next one. Maybe I'll find that one action series that can actually really draw me in. The reader is very good in this one.

Captivated

The start was a tiny bit sluggish but necessary info. It picked up speed and held me captive to the end. Looking forward to the next Robin Monarch story to download. Enjoyed it very much!
Very well read! Great storytelling.
