Story
When a commercial flight violates restricted airspace to make an emergency landing at a closed airport in Iran, the passengers are just happy to be alive and ready to transfer to a functional plane. All of them except one...the American technology consultant in business class is not who he says he is. Zac Miller is a CIA analyst. And after an agent's cover gets blown, Zac - though never trained to be a field operative - volunteers to take his place, to keep a surveillance mission from being scrubbed.

Story
After years of relative calm, piracy has returned to the high sea. But the days of AK-47s and outboard engines are over. The new pirates hit like a SEAL team. Ships and crews are vanishing at a staggering rate. Jake Keller has a plan - to lure the pirate mastermind out of hiding by infiltrating his organization - but it’s a dangerous gambit, made more so by Jake's personal involvement with the beautiful heiress to a Greek shipping fortune and an ulterior agenda coming out of CIA headquarters.

After his best friend Jar discovers the woman’s true identity, she insists they need to investigate. Nate is not as sure. The police are on the case, after all, and if he and Jar intervene, they'd only get in the way.

Publisher's Summary
Jake Keller finds himself in a familiar position - on the run for his life and desperate to find the shadowy figures behind a global conspiracy.
CIA agent Jake Keller and his partner, Curt Roach, are in Yemen on an important mission. They've been tipped off to a secret meeting of top al Qaeda leaders. The plan is to interrupt the meeting with a few unexpected visitors - a pair of Hellfire missiles from an orbiting drone. But the drone stops responding to their signals and soon disappears over the horizon. When next seen, the drone is attacking innocent pilgrims in Mecca.
Jake and Curt are staggered. The US government is desperate to disavow this atrocity. Who better to blame than a couple of rogue CIA agents? With all the governments of the Middle East looking for them and no help from their own side, they are in a desperate race to stay ahead of the mob and find out who's actually behind the crime.

Phenomenal follow up
I love book 1 in the Jake Keller series, and book 2 was even better. I think that David Ricciardi is cementing himself as one of the newest and best authors in the thriller genre. This book was fast-paced, had great action scenes, and had a plot line that was all too believable. Let me put it this way, it dealt with Iran. He couldn't have predicted it better. I was floored by how good this book was, and I will indulge in it over and over again. Jonathan Davis is one of the best in the business. I am used to his first-person narrations, but this was incredible. I can't recommend this book/series enough. Keep it up, David. Please don't quit this series. It's amazing!

Very, very creative plot!
Author David Ricciardi's first novel was Warning Light was an outstanding espionage thriller. It also began the Jake Keller series. ROGUE STRIKE, the second novel in the Jake Keller series is even better. If you like the work of Jack Carr, Brad Thor, Mark Greaney, Ben Coes, Vince Flynn, etc., you will enjoy this series. Jonathan Davis narrates superbly.

Fantastic!
I loved it! The book reminded me of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney, lots of different moving parts all over the globe, intricate plots and twists that all come together in a big bang! I loved every minute of it and was very sorry when it was finished. I went looking for more of David Ricciardi's books, only to realise this was his 2nd book! This new author has got a fantastic career ahead of him!

C.I.A. And the Delta Boys
As a huge fan of narrator Jonathan Davis, but not of SciFi, I tried to get as many of his narrations as possible as he makes the story come to life. My fave, Sandra Browns, Mean Streak. I do use 1.25x speed to match the adventure. Give it a try. A reviewer I follow loved this book, and as reviewers said this story was better than the first, I started with book 2. As one reviewer, stated, story was a bit too long. In my humble opinion, it was long and needed better editing as the drama didn’t increase with the length, just more scenarios, meaning the tension did not increase. While the opening was very fast paced, and the mystery unfolded very quickly, the length of this story, does not compel me to buy book 1. For I all know, that was the better story to try out this author. If I run out of good selections for Mr. Davis, then I may give it a try, Were my comments of help?

Realistic? Hmmmm. Exciting and engaging? YES!
Rogue Strike is that must-have second book you buy even before finishing the first book. The author has some good characters and great plot twists. Lots of Jake leaving rescue or safety to head back into the fray to do the right thing. Very satisfying. Okay, I will suspend all belief for this kind of characterization and action! The more we learn of actual government and military behavior, the more believable this all gets. Sad but very possible. The author needs a researcher (many authors have them) to get cultural details correct. The Chinese general and his wife call each other Honey and Darling. Not gonna happen, just ask any Chinese person over 40. His use of General Wu Ding's name is inconsistent, confusing, and probably incorrect. Most of the way through the general is called Wu Ding by all his government cronies until about chapter 92 where he is suddenly, and only once, called Wu Ding Yang. I'm assuming that Ricciardi thinks Yang is the family name, in which case only the closest of friends and family would call him Wu Ding. But if the author is being true to Chinese ways, Wu is the surname, and Ding Yang is the given name and calling him Wu Ding is just impossible. Anyway totally confusing if you know how it is supposed to work. Then Wu Ding shows up somewhere in a long Chinese coat called a cheongsam. No. Women wear the cheongsam (that slinky dress slit up to there), men wear a chang ao. These errors will slip painlessly past everyone not in the know, but slap those in. It's not easy to get it all right, that's why the researcher. Jonathan Davis is a highly respected narrator with a great voice. His accents are quite good. He lost a star for me for unnatural sentence emphasis, and some mispronounced or inconsistently-pronounced words like Makarov. I'm a detail listener so I pick, pick, pick. I don't go in looking to pick, things just stand out for me. If they jump in my face, I comment. I loved the story and the characters Ricciardi has created, and I anxiously await the next one!

Wow👏
Ricciardi put together one hell of a story. It's like a fireworks show produced by Disney and performed in concert with a world class orchestra. Starts out with a bang, keeps you guessing and so engaged in what's going on that you won't even have time to prepare for the grand finale when it comes... and it will come. In my opinion this is where the series truly begins. The first book (Warning Lights) seems more like a prequel now that I've finished this one. It's been a while since I've found a new writer/narrator combination this exciting! If you are taking the time to read this review just stop now and buy the book! P.s I've been an audible listener for about 15 years and have only written 4 or 5 reviews. I don't want to over sell this book but; even if I did, it would be hard to do.

Not as good as Book 1
After loving Book 1, this was a huge come-down for me. It was so much longer, sometimes unnecessarily, I thought. I liked bits of it, so soldiered on, but I've now abandoned it right near the end. I just don't care what happens or how it turns out. Usually you want to know at least that. I don't. The lead person won't die and the 'world' won't come to an end, so to speak (to not give a spoiler). He would return to characters or not, and it seemed arbitrary. I guess there is just a fine line between an exciting story and it just not working, kind of like when you get a movie sequel and it doesn't live up to the original. I doubt I'll read any further books by this author.
