A sister kidnapped. A journalist in danger. A killer out for revenge.

After taking out a covert facility run by the Commission, a deep-state syndicate, Nathan Stone has made powerful enemies. He’s a black-ops asset—and he’s gone rogue.

But the organization wants payback. Kidnapping Stone’s sister from a Florida psychiatric hospital, the Commission have their asset exactly where they want him. They instruct him to neutralize journalist Mark Mahoney, to whom Stone had previously leaked documents about the Commission and their deadly conspiracy. Now, Nathan Stone has a choice: neutralize Mahoney and kill the story for good, or lose the only family he has left.

Stone knows that these men will stop at nothing to get what they want. Killing Mahoney is just the beginning. And when Stone learns the identity of their final target, he knows he has to stop the Commission once and for all—no matter the cost.

A bit of a YAWN most of the time...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2021

Considering this “hero” is a trained killer and kills at will. I find it boringly implausible that Mr Turner rambles on and on, chapter after chapter with his Mr Stone, wondering how and which way to kill the hapless journalist.
For heaven’s sake all he has to do is creep up behind the guy, bump him off, making it look like a mugging gone wrong which he could have achieved by chapter 7. Job done… move on.
Sorry I found this a page-turner for the wrong reasons as I ended up skipping entire chapters and still nowt of substance had happened.
The book does improve a touch after chapter 16.

Fast paced, action packed read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2019

As is the norm with me and reading a series in order, I started with Book 2, and so I can honestly say that “yes this works well as a stand-alone, but you would benefit from reading these in order”.

If you are a fan of Jason Bourne or Jack Reacher style books then this one will be right up your street. The main protagonist is Nathan Stone, an ex-military man who has definitely stood on some toes and made some very powerful enemies. These enemies have hit Nathan hard when they kidnap his sister and use her in a blackmail attempt.

The scenarios that play out are fast paced, violent and action-packed and I really liked the variety in these scenarios as they were not too samey or stereotypical. They were used in such a way as to keep the speed of the read at a breakneck tempo.

With Nathan being backed into a corner he comes out fighting and kicking, stabbing… I think you get the idea. Yes, he is a man who has gone rogue there is no argument about that, but underneath this dangerous exterior there resides a man who has a soul and morals but only towards those who deserve them.

As I mentioned this is fast paced and if you are someone who likes mysteries, corruption and double dealings then this is a great book to read. I have bought the first so I can back track to learn more about the origins and what makes this character tick and look forward to reading more in the series.

One I would definitely recommend to readers.

A fast paced thriller that keeps you reading.

This is the second book in the American Ghost thriller series following on from “Rogue” but as like me you can read this as a one off however I would advise reading Rogue first as it will all fit in better. Nathan Stone is a assassin. Was a paid cold killer paid by the Commission, but went rogue while carrying out a contract in Scotland. Nathan is now trying to get on with his life and taking care of his only family Helen his sister in a psychiatric hospital. That is until the powers to be in the Commission apply pressure for him tom do one more job after taking Helen from the hospital.
Nathan isn’t the man he used to be and decides to rescue his sister and his target Mark Mahoney who is a New York Times reporter who is close to writing a story the Commission don’t want published. Things escalate and Nathan is as deadly as ever before taking very few prisoners and from the first page you are taken into his world the dark world of assassins. It also shows two sides to the story of the hunted and the hunter, brilliant.
I recommend this book by J.B. Turner and others in this series as it is a great gripping read that you won’t put down!

As I said in a previous review, great story line so bought the whole set. Very enjoyable, fast paced action. Any one of the set can be read on its own I just like to follow a character through their adventures all the way. Highly recommended.

A good solid second book in the Trilogy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2018

I liked this book. The story line follows on from the earlier book. Nathan becomes even more deadly and disruptive as he fights the 'Commission' whilst they apply pressure to him in other ways. The action is exciting and fast paced whilst the story line develops in different directions. Once I started reading it was difficult to put down. I have pre-ordered the third book in the trilogy and can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Nathan has a choice do as he is told or his sister will be killed.
Deciding to do his own thing Nathan saves the life of a journalist and his family before seeking revenge.
Only the battle isn't over.

Although I enjoyed this it is kind of formulaic, we have Stone's back story but as the trilogy unfolds he happens to have a gun, lethal injection, whatever he needs.
I'm going to stick with it because I enjoy the style but Reacher, Hope, Reznick he is not.

I'm now totally hooked on J. B. Turner books. This book is brilliant. The Nathan Stone series captures you from the first page right through to the end. The dark world of assassins and the tricks they use to carry out their work. Is amazing. All be it rather worrying. I recommend this book and others in this series to every appreciative reader out there. Great gripping read!
