A review by bairdy1985
Rogue Hero by Rob Sinclair
5.0
I’m a big fan of the authors work so was eager to get stuck into Rogue Hero.
The story starts of strong, setting the scene as a failed assassination attempt takes place.. but why did the hero run away? Who were they?
Curtis Delaney watches the footage as it hits the news and immediately knows who the hero is… it’s his brother Finn.
They might be brothers but it’s been 6 years since they last saw each other and they didn’t part on good terms.. but Curtis can’t help but want to help his brother out..
Here’s where things start to get juicy, the story switches focus between characters and we learn about Finn’s past.. it teases you in it’s build up.
We also see Curtis in the current day trying to balance his own work and life commitments with that of finding his brother.
What I really found interesting was the character development.. the focus shifts so neatly, the pace so good that you find it hard to really form the full picture of Curtis and Finn.. there’s so much going on.. its was a marvellously jam packed tale.. the brothers are more similar than you originally think.. both jealous and impetuous..its the perfect combo for a engrossing action thriller novel.
The devil is in the detail they say and Rob Sinclair knows how to write! When you are about 50% through.. while the waters are still unclear you start to see a shift..links.. but there’s more and more questions too.
It’s a complete mind f**k to pardon my language.. like its so unbelievably good but you just don’t see things coming.. like wow..there’s murder.. fraud.. blackmail.. but to what end? Oh Mr Sinclair.. you know how to hook me in don’t you ha ha.
I think the word to best highlight for this book is pace, in every aspect, the chapters flow well, not too long or short either.. each chapter designed just to give you enough to see the movement but not enough to give everything away too soon but at the same time nothing was drawn out or boring.. just a perfectly executed story that I reckon everyone will love!
This is by far the most engrossing tale from the author yet!
