Rogue Warrior is an entertaining and brisk thriller that keeps you guessing but never lets you stray too far. There is a solid pace that is backed up by an easygoing writing style. With only a few central characters to play with, Turnbull affords just the right amount of backstory and exposition, never sacrificing velocity for needless filler. This book is about Shoshanna Agnon though, and her inner character is explored as thoroughly as her ferocious skill set. Without her, this would still be good, but with her, it is great.
