A Russian sleeper cell. A deadly conspiracy. Bob is on the warpath.

Ex-CIA assassin Bob Singleton agrees to help out an old friend, a police officer whose career is on the line when a body goes missing from an accident scene.

Sounds simple enough. But Bob has no idea what he’s getting into. Because the missing body is linked to a legendary Russian spy, codename Uncle.

Together with the granddaughter of the missing man, Bob starts to investigate. They immediately find themselves in the crosshairs of an elite team of Russian killers determined to protect Uncle’s identity at all costs.

Then Bob’s nemesis, CIA boss Eddie Stone, appears and offers a deal – bring Uncle in and the agency will stop trying to kill you. You can have your life back.

It’s something Bob badly wants. Can he escape the assassins and uncover Uncle’s true identity? He knows the odds are stacked against him.

But the clock is already ticking. And the body count is rising…

Rogue Warrior Thrillers

The series

Some battles never truly end — they just change shape.

Read full series description

In the Rogue Warrior thrillers, the line between justice and survival is razor-thin, and former CIA assassin Bob Singleton knows it better than anyone. Haunted by betrayals and missions that blurred the meaning of loyalty, Singleton now operates in the shadows of a world he once served, hunted by old enemies and former allies alike.

Set against a backdrop of covert operations, dark conspiracies, and shifting global threats, the series trades the glamour of traditional spy fiction for something grittier — a landscape where violence leaves scars deeper than the ones on the surface. Singleton is no invincible hero; he’s a man worn thin by choices, constantly weighing the cost of redemption against the urge for revenge.

What sets this series apart isn't just the relentless pace or the sharp, unforgiving action scenes — it’s the raw humanity threaded through every chapter. Singleton’s journey is brutal, often bleak, but never empty. There’s a real weight to his battles, a sense that every decision could be his last, and that every ghost he carries has a name.

Drawing readers into a world of ruthless mercenaries, double-dealing operatives, and the unquiet ghosts of past missions, the Rogue Warrior books are built for fans of high-stakes espionage thrillers who crave more than just gunfights and car chases. They offer a dive into the mind of a man shaped — and nearly broken — by the very system he once believed in.

For readers who like their thrillers intelligent, ruthless, and crackling with tension, Bob Singleton’s story offers no easy answers — only hard truths and harder choices.
