Terrorist Novel Delivers a Knock Out Blow!

Rarely has one novel so captured my attention from the opening pages. Author Aiden Rocke delivers us a real knockout punch with his debut terrorist thriller “Rogue Threat." He does not wade through the pages but plows right ahead and into the story plot right from the beginning. His writing style is easy to follow and it is packed with adrenaline and action. It will be hard for the reader to put down once they start reading it.

The story deals with side issues such as brotherly love and revenge but the main plot makes 9-11 pale by comparison. We are talking some full scale mass destruction that is not so far fetched and that is what should scare the hell out of the readers. It is not such a fantasy plot as it appears. That realism makes the story plot move at greater speeds through the reader’s brain and emotionally hook them into what is happening.

There is a mystery man whose life has been saved and who is programmed to kill a terrorist. He doesn’t know who he is nor does he recall his past but his enemies know all too well. The author takes us along on his mission as we jump out of an airplane with him and begin our hunt for the “bad guys.” There is enough action in this book for four novels and enough twists and turns to delight all fans of thriller novels. But the heart of the book is in the author’s well developed characters. They are alive and feel like real people. His bad guys are really bad and the heroes are not perfect. However, you will find yourself rooting for Matt Garrett, our former CIA operative as he puts the pieces of the puzzle together and discovers a conspiracy.

The story is riveting entertainment at its best! One of the very best thriller novels I have read this year. The writer has talent and one can only speculate how great his next novels will be like; but this one is a must read book. It receives the MWSA’s top book rating of FIVE STARS.
