How do you kill Bob Singleton? You hire the best – and then you pray.

Bob is hiding out in sleepy Albany when he is targeted by mysterious assassins who always seem to know exactly where he is. Who are these guys and why are they after him?

Bob is desperate for answers and turns to Chinese spy, Lucy Zhang. She says she can find out who has ordered the hit on Bob – if he can discover who stole key technology from Chinese state security.

With the attempts on his life continuing, Bob has no choice and takes the job, quickly finding himself immersed in a billion-dollar conspiracy that threatens global security.

From a terrifying paraglider escape to a yacht club demolition, Bob tears through an international network of spies and criminals as he tries to uncover the truth.

But when he finally corners the last conspirator, he realises too late that nothing is as it seems and he is just a pawn in a deadly game. A pawn that will be sacrificed…

Hit List - the ninth in the thrilling Rogue Warrior action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Jason Kasper, Jack Carr, and Lee Child.

Ian Loome

Ian Loome (also writes as L. H. Thomson and Sam Powers) writes the kind of thrillers that feel like they've lived a life before landing in your hands — taut, restless, and always edged with hard-won experience. Raised between the quiet English village of Bierton and the turbulence of Angola during a communist regime, and later settling in Canada, Loome grew up in places where tension thrived under the surface. That early exposure to conflict and uncertainty shaped the pulse of his fiction, infusing every story with a sense of urgency and grit.

Before turning full-time to crime fiction and espionage thrillers, Loome carved out a career as a journalist, chasing stories across Ontario and Alberta. Covering everything from foreign affairs to celebrity interviews, he developed a sharp instinct for human motivation — a skill that now fuels the morally complex characters in his novels. Whether it's Bob Singleton of the Rogue Warrior series, a former CIA assassin grappling with the shadows of his past, or Liam Quinn, an ex-convict turned private investigator walking the crumbling streets of Philadelphia, Loome’s protagonists are never just heroes or villains; they're survivors of their own messy histories.

Writing with an eye for suspense and a deep empathy for flawed souls, Loome built his early catalog under the pen names L.H. Thomson and Sam Powers before stepping forward under his own name. His work resonates with readers who crave thrillers that don’t just race to the end, but linger in the grey spaces where right and wrong blur.

Living with Asperger’s and ADHD, Loome brings a distinctive, finely attuned voice to every story he writes. When he's not building intricate plots or crafting sharp dialogue, he’s likely playing blues guitar — another outlet for the raw emotion that colors his fiction. Today, he lives in Canada with his partner, Lori, continuing to deliver gripping, atmospheric novels that reward readers who like their thrillers intelligent, fast-moving, and just a little dangerous.

Rogue Warrior Thrillers

Some battles never truly end — they just change shape.

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.

Read more ...

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.
