Rogue State (Adam Knight Thrillers Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 725 ratings

North Korea on the Edge. A Lethal Bioweapon Unleashed. A Mission Where Trust is as Fatal as the Enemy.

A deadly secret inside the Hermit Kingdom has been exposed—the regime is unleashing a catastrophic biological weapon against its own citizens. What is this weapon? How was it obtained? And most importantly, what is the ultimate goal?

Once again, Adam Knight is enlisted by the mysterious Penumbra Division. His task: uncover the truth before the weapon's full force is turned on the world. In a nation shrouded in secrecy, Knight’s only entry is through an alliance with a former Russian operative. Can he trust the enigmatic figure, or will she lead him into a trap?

As Knight probes deeper, he is drawn into a fatal game with formidable foes who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. With the clock ticking, the threat of a global disaster looms larger with each passing minute.

Knight must navigate dangerous terrain, evade deadly threats, and expose the conspiracy before it's too late. But in a world where trust is a luxury, every move could be his last. Will Knight prevail, or will his failure mark the beginning of a new war?

If the high-octane narratives of Tom Clancy, Lee Child, Robert Ludlum, Vince Flynn, and Ian Fleming keep you turning pages late into the night, then prepare to be engrossed by the world of Adam Knight.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My love for storytelling took root in my childhood, sparked by the thrilling escapades of James Bond and the intense narratives of the Bourne films. As I grew, my literary tastes evolved, drawing inspiration from the masterful works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, Lee Child, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva. Their fusion of espionage intrigue with technological marvels ignited my passion for crafting similar narratives.

In my novels, I endeavor to meld suspense-laden espionage plots with the mesmerizing world of high-tech innovations. My enthusiasm for cars seamlessly integrates into my stories, bringing an added dimension of authenticity through exhilarating high-speed pursuits.

Off the pages, my life is deeply enriched by my family. I am happily married, a proud father to a son and daughter, and their unwavering support is the cornerstone of both my personal and professional achievements. Their encouragement has been pivotal, guiding me to where I stand today, both in life and in my writing career.

    A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This is another action adventure that Knight is involved in. You can't go wrong with this series and once you start it it's hard to put down until the end.

    I received an ARC through "Booksprout" and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

    Knight is in London just finishing a mission expecting a couple of days off. His plan changes after he receives a call from his handler. He has been directed to Bangkok to meet up with an arms dealer. It seems that this individual has been in volve in the sale of a Bioweapon and he needs to locate it. Before Knight can get all of his answers, a sniper kills the seller along with those around him. Knight gets info on who they were delivered to. Knight advises his handler and before he can go after the person who received delivery, he has to stop in Hawaii and meet up with Toropova.

    After leaving Hawaii, they travel to Russia to try and find out where the weapon was delivered. After Knight and Toropova arrive, things don't go as planned. They were finally able to discover where the weapon was sent, North Korea.

    To discover what events the two of them were involved in and what reason the Bioweapon was wanted as well as how it all worked out in the end, then you need to read this book.

    If tou like a lot of action, then this is a definite read!

    This was definitely a page turning thriller. I had a hard time putting it down but work and sleep dictated that I must. This was the first Adam Knight book I had read and now I want to read the previous books. I found Adam to be an interesting character to follow as he searched for the anwers. All the international locations and how they get there add to the intrigue. Several clues were provided but there were several twists that you did not expect.
    I liked the dynamics between Toropova and Knight when she entered in the story and they became a team (although not all at once). They had a hard time tracing the bad guy and I am not convinced that the final root of the evil has been found (plus do they actually take him down??). I'll leave that for you to find out.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    An absolute must read book! I found it hard to put this book down. From the first page to the last page the author keeps you wondering if Adam Knight and Toropova can solve the mystery of a bioweapon that will wreak havoc in the world. This is the first book I've read from this author and I will definitely go back to read books 1 and 2 of this series.

    Rogue State, like his previous works, is a fast-paced action-packed adventure from London to Russia, on to North Korea and Japan. Adam Knight is a highly skilled agent for a super secret intelligence section, Penumbra. He's sent on missions which must be completed successfully in order to safeguard his home country, USA. This time he's sent on the trail of some evil actors who've got their mitts on some bioweapons. There's a little bit of romantic tension thrown in for those that need that in their stories but thank goodness, nothing too mushy. Really glad I stumbled upon this new author and have really enjoyed the 3 Adam Knight books - looking forward to many more!!.
