A mysterious Interpol agent is on a bloody romp across Europe. A Texas woman, whose marriage has been disintegrating, has been mysteriously kidnapped and forced to parachute out of a DC-3 and into the thick of the plot. Now only a cat on a frozen bridge can save her--and stop him. Set against a backdrop of Europe, Texas and the Yucatan jungle, Rogue introduces a group of diverse characters, before rolling them into a thunderous ending. A fast-paced thriller that leaves everyone hanging.
This is a great read, perfect for planes, trains, and late nights in front of a roaring fire with the wind howling outside. The plot twists and turns satisfied my "Le Carre" side, while the gut-check excitement and location shifts kept my "James Bond" motor running. And the best thing about this novel is that it has the potential to be just the first in a great, long series. So, I've put another log on the fire, freshened up my hot drink, and I'm already waiting for the next one in what will hopefully be many more from this author. Thanks for a good time!
A MUST READ BOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
From sleepy Austin Texas to the playgrounds of Europe, this book kept me quite entertained and captured my attention immediately. A wonderful entertwining of plots and subplots, characters that seem to go PooF! into the night, and then reappear at a later time. Be forwarned, nothing is as it seems, and it all seems bewildering! Nicely pulled together in the end, a great book!

Strap yourself in...

Espionage, suspense, action, and adventure. Strap yourself in when you begin Rogue: The Cheetah Files by Robert Walker. Set against a backdrop of Tyrolian Alps, Texas honkytonks and Mayan jungles, this thriller will grab your attention from the start and keep those pages turning. Suprising plot twists and complex characters usher you through this web of intrigue as you try to distinguish villain from hero. Be warned: Things are not necessarily as they seem. With his first book, Mr. Walker has struck a note that will be hard to follow. Nevertheless, we look forward to soon seeing more of the Cheetah Files.
Excellent first novel!

Excellent first novel! This is a slam-dunk for those who are looking for a change from the normal Clancy-esque 500-page paperweights. Hector (code name "Cheetah") is a spy who comes closer to the real thing than your normal "Ops-" type hero. Story line is absolutely refreshing, compact and reminds me of the original short thrillers of the '50s and '60s by authors such as Fleming, MacLean and Le Carre. Walker creates interesting and volatile twists in the plot to keep you turning pages, and then neatly pieces it all together in an ending you won't forget. His fight-to-the-death scene is one of the best I've ever read, where you see and feel the pain, the cold, the adrenaline. Throw in the crisp descriptions of European scenery and background and characters who help fire up the plot and you have a marvelous book in your hands that you absolutely can't put down.
