Rogue Force (A Troy Stark Thriller—Book #1) Kindle Edition

by Jack Mars (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 5,818 ratings
“Thriller writing at its best... A gripping story that's hard to put down.”
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (re Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars, author of the critically-acclaimed Luke Stone and Agent Zero series (with over 5,000 five-star reviews), comes an explosive new, action-packed thriller series that takes readers on a wild-ride across Europe, America, and the world.

When elite Navy Seal Troy Stark is forced into retirement for his dubious respect for authority, he dreads the quiet life awaiting him with his brothers and buddies in Yonkers, New York. But the quiet doesn’t last long: the NYPD needs Troy’s military expertise to help find and stop a major terrorist threat to New York City. To pre-empt the attack, they need him to fly to Europe and stop it at its source—using any means necessary.

Troy finds himself partnered with an Interpol agent who is as different from him as can be, and their instant dislike is mutual. But they have an attack to stop, and only a few days to do it, and together they’ll need each other as they criss-cross Europe in a high-octane cat-and-mouse chase to shut these terrorists down.

But what starts off as a straightforward mission (and an opportunity to clear his name) soon catapults Troy headfirst into a global conspiracy. These criminals are more sophisticated than they appear, and even with Troy’s unparalleled military skills, he and his team find themselves constantly one stop behind. With the fate of New York City on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Where will they strike? And when? And can Troy stop it before it’s too late?

An unputdownable action thriller with heart-pounding suspense and unforeseen twists, ROGUE FORCE is the debut novel in an exhilarating new series by a #1 bestselling author that will have you fall in love with a brand new action hero—and turn pages late into the night.

Books #2-#5 in the series are now also available.

    This book has action on top of action. Something different is going on all the time. The story line starts and keeps building all the way to the ending. The characters are good, but needs a little more descriptions to make them complete. Tory gets away with a few things he probably wouldn’t get away with in real life. The good guys in Europe were a little to straight line to be real working bad guy cases. Over the book was interesting and entertaining.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read but with little inter connection between chapters
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I chose this rating because this book reminds me of some kind of soap opera, where after each chapter is finished, the hero, or good guy, reaches a conclusion or completion and then jumps to another location, country in this case. I just wished that there were more of a connection between each chapter. It tend to sound that the action is stopped after the end of each chapter or reaches a conclusion. And on to the next chapter. The author’s writing and detailing of every action and every scene are very good, lucid and straightforward and easy to understand..
