In modern espionage, every action has a reaction. One wrong move could sink an entire region into turmoil – even war.
Ex-MI6 operative Marc Dane understands this better than anyone. Dedicating his life to protecting the country means he’s collected enemies, and a lot of them.
But for those hellbent on bringing the West to its knees, each failed plot has one thing in common: The Rubicon Group, the elite private intelligence agency, and Dane’s employer. Destroy Rubicon, and the world order falls with it.
With the clock ticking, Dane, along with sniper partner Lucy Keyes, must unpick a monstrous and deadly conspiracy that stretches from the marinas of Monaco to the mountains of Mozambique – one that threatens not only Rubicon, but ultimately the lives of millions of innocent civilians. And time is fast running out . . .
Barely recovered from the dramatic events of SHADOW, ex-MI6 operative Marc Dane and his partner Lucy Keyes are thrust into the fight of their lives when their arch-enemy – the ruthless terrorist power brokers known as the Combine – turn their full attention toward the destruction of the Rubicon Group, the private intelligence agency they both work for.
Beginning with a shock revelation from a former mentor at British Intelligence, Marc’s world is thrown into disarray when a face from his past returns from the dead – while in the corridors of corporate power, a devastating coup is engineered to shatter Rubicon forever and bring down Ekko Solomon, the enigmatic African billionaire behind the group’s vigilante activities.
The dark secrets of Solomon’s past, a decades-long quest for revenge and a brutal conspiracy of lies come together in ROGUE – and Rubicon will never be the same.
Dark secrets of the past, a decades-long quest for revenge, and a brutal conspiracy of lies all collide in ROGUE – the explosive new novel by the bestselling author of Nomad and Exile.
