As with all James Patterson books this book was fast paced with small chapters that I flew through reading. The story was interesting however I felt that this one didn’t capture me as much as the previous Private books and that the ending was a bit sudden.

It also kept referencing Private Moscow which I haven’t read yet - so I was a bit worried that a major plot point may be mentioned that would spoil the book for me. Luckily I don’t think this happened.

There are so many twists and turns in this addition to the Private series. It’s action packed and full of danger and suspense. It’s a fast paced thriller that kept my interest to the very end. Highly recommended read. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review*

Just from the start I was completely hooked with the story. It is perfect action packed, full with twists and turns that don't leave you to stop reading. I had to see what will happen in the next chapter and than in the next one too... I stayed up all night just because of that. James Patterson and Adam Hamdy wrote a perfect instalment, maybe the best one so far of the Private series. I loved seeing old characters reappearing from previous instalments. I highly recommend it to all fast paced thrillers and for other crime and mystery fans

This is the first I read in this series and this means I will read a new series.
A page turner that kept me hooked, fast paced and action packed.
Some moments are quite sad but I liked the how it ends.
Great plot and characters.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Another great read from James Patterson, if you've not read any others in the Private series this will not effect your reading of this book. Plenty going on taking Jack and his team on another risky mission, keeps you gripped from beginning to the end.

Private Rogue (Private 16) by James Patterson and Adam Hamdy is a huge 5 star read.
Every book in this series just gets better and better, when I think I’ve found my favourite one along comes another. James Patterson is the master of a great storyline, you never know where he’s going to take you but it’s always a thrill when you get there. I highly recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book through Netgalley.

This is book sixteen in the Private series and I have read all fifteen previous books in sequential order and I think this is the best one by far.
Jack will need to face the trauma of his past to save a family's future.
The Private series features Jack Morgan, who runs the Private, a global detective agency. It was great that this book picks up straight from where we left off at the end of book fifteen and I was also pleased when Jack and Justine rekindled their relationship. Jack has to face demons from his past that he thought he had left behind so even though he is still involved with the agency, has taken on more of a behind the scenes roll and is spending less time in the field. This changes though when he decides to help a client. Donald Singer is a distraught father whose daughter Beth, and her children, Danny and Maria go missing in upstate New York. Jack thinks that this is a straight forward missing persons case, but boy, is he wrong!
It’s an edge of your seat roller-coaster ride from start to finish. With cutting edge problems that are easy to believe that really could happen, but thankfully, the team at Private are more than capable of dealing with. The team have to travel the globe fighting more than just 1 enemy and you don’t know who you can trust...
I stayed up way too late reading this book, the classic, just one more page / chapter as I was just so immersed in the storyline, the characters and the setting. I don’t mind admitting that it also might have something to do with James Patterson being one of my favourite authors too.
I highly recommend this spine tingling, fast paced thriller of a book to basically anyone who loves reading, and I can’t wait for book seventeen in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK for an eARC in return for an honest review.

Wow what a thrill ride!
I could not wait to read the next chapter.Almost read it in one sitting so entralled was I by the story line.
A real pulse pounding,heart in the mouth,stomach clenchind read.

Jack is back! Anyone who follows this series won’t be disappointed, and neither will those who read the private series for the first time, as can be easily read as a stand alone book.
Jack Morgan the owner of Private is tasked with the simple task of finding a clients missing daughter and grandchildren which soon turns into a far more complex case full of twists and turns. James Patterson at his best and why I love reading his books. As a follower of this series I would totally recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley for my advance copy to read.

I am guaranteed a page turning read when I read a book from Patterson's Private series.

In this book Jack Morgan is hired to find a clients daughter and grandchildren. All the regular team are featured in this book including Justine, Mo, Sci and Jessie all of whom I find wonderfully written characters.

This story takes Jack back into a deadly showdown with Russians as well as him returning to Afghanistan.

I thought this was another gripping read from Patterson, and whilst I have found some of his other series a little predictable, Private remains as exciting as ever.

Time to clear your schedule for the afternoon, coffee pot on and phone turned off - you won’t want to put this one down. Jack Morgan is back in town!

I can’t believe after 15 previous “Private” escapades, James Patterson has yet again delivered with number 16 in the series; another sensational read which can be enjoyed as much by a “Private” newcomer as by a “Private” tragic - though I admit half way through “Rogue” I found I had missed “Moscow - yes, I’m reading that now! Jack Morgan and his team yet again keep us engaged in an enthralling adventure through both the wilds of Afghanistan and back in the US - I can’t wait for #17 to arrive. Definitely 5 stars for this one.

The latest addition to the Private series sees Jack Morgan hired to find a woman missing with her 2 children. Running alongside Jack's investigation, we read about a US helicopter shot down in Afghanistan - there is only one survivor, the pilot. Can he make it to safety, and how does his story tie into that of Jack's missing family?

I really enjoyed this Private story. Yet again James Paaterson gives us a fast paced, easy to read thriller, and I very much doubt we've seen the last of Jack and his team!

Adam Hamdy adds a great deal to this new Title in the Private series. The book does not disappoint taking the main characters further and testing them more - all in realistic ways. A must read for Patterson fans who if new to Adam Hamdy will certainly enjoy the additional depth so much in evidence in his own novels. Patterson keeps finding new partners to keep his books fresh and his series thrill a minute

Having read numerous books by James Patterson previously I was looking forward to the latest in a series I haven't really invested the time in up to now. The fact that it is co-authored by Adam Handy as well, made it an interesting choice so I was invested to see how it turned out.

Like some of Adam's books, there is a flow to the story that you think you know where it is going when all of a sudden it is flipped on the head and starts to go down another route. This is what makes the book work, as it's never good if as a reader you can predict halfway through what's going to happen next.

What starts off as a missing person, gets bigger and bigger, with the opponents becoming more and more sinister (don't want to say too much, as would like other readers to find out for themselves what happens).

Overall a good book with some good action scenes and thrills, if only let down slightly with an ending that seems to finish too quickly after the build up - granted this could be because I got to the last act of the book and didn't want to put it down as I couldn't wait to finish it! So if you like a book with thrills and chills, this si for you.

I was provided a free ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in return for a honest review.

It started off ok but soon dropped into the realms of an unbelievable tale where I felt the main character had turned into some kind of superman. Unfortunately after 26 chapters and trying to remain interested I gave up. Thank you for the opportunity review Net Galley but this is not a book I could finish or recommend.

A plane is shot down in Afghanistan but one man survives the crash.

Private in hired in New York to find the family of the wife and children of the survivor.

Jack Morgan takes on this case personally and allis not what it seems.

Fast paced thriller that does not fail to please with its twists and turns.

Mr Patterson - another great read.

Private Rouge is book 16 - what?? I was really shocked when I saw that. The Private series featuring Jack Morgan is always a an action packed thrill ride and I always look forward to the next adventure. James Patterson never fails to hook me in and this was another of his books that I stayed up way too late to finish...no regrets. No secret that James Patterson is a favourite author of mine and always will be.

Jack's reputation is that of the best - and everybody wants the best.. Donald Singer is desperate to find his daughter and grandchildren and begs Jack to take on the job. They have gone missing and are in danger. Meanwhile, a marine pilot is shot down in Afghanistan and while he escapes the crash he soon discovers that he is being hunted by Russian mercenaries.

It is non stop action and I couldn't read it fast enough. Thanks so much to Random House UK for my advanced copy of this book to read.

This, along with the previous book in the Private series, are written by James Patterson and Adam Hamdy, featuring Jack Morgan who runs the cutting edge global Private detective agency. This addition picks up from where the last one left off. Jack and Justine have rekindled their relationship, but he has still not gotten over the trauma of previous events, and has been taking a more management role in Los Angeles, rather than getting involved hands on in any case. This situation is about to change as he takes on what appears to be a straightforward case from a client, Donald Singer, a distraught father whose daughter, Beth, is missing, along with her two children, Danny and Maria, in upstate New York. An American special operations team undertake a secret mission in Nuristan, Afghanistan, which goes spectacularly wrong, resulting in almost everyone involved tragically being killed.

However, there is one survivor, the pilot Floyd, who manages to escape the Osprey crash site in the deadly frozen, wintry mountainous region of the Hindu Kush, only to find himself being hunted down by ruthless Russian mercenaries, who seem to want to capture him alive. Beth may be a mother now, but she is a ex-military woman, so when her vehicle is stopped by a couple of sinister looking police officers that do not look right, she escapes with her children, only to find a drone has followed them to their place, leaving her no choice but to go on the run to find a safe place to hide out in. However, whoever is hunting her down is well organised, dangerous, extremely well resourced and not going to give up. When Jack discovers he is being used and manipulated, he becomes aware of the connection between his case, and that of a missing, presumed dead, American pilot in Afghanistan.

This is a fast paced, action packed thriller with short, snappy chapters, packed with oodles of suspense and tension. It is a gripping read, although you will have to suspend your sense of disbelief to fully enjoy the entertaining thrill ride. I have only read two books in the series, this and the previous one, but already I am enjoying the returning characters, such as Maureen Roth, aka Mo-bot, the ace computer geek, Seymour Kloppenberg, the chief criminologist, and particularly the Private Moscow duo of Danita Orlova and Leonid Boykov. This is for those of you who enjoy high octane thrillers and for other crime and mystery fans. Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC.

James Patterson has done what he does best. Collaborate with a co author and produce a mighty fine book. A great addition to the Private series. Lots of twists and turns. A fast paced deeply engrossing book.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Another strong addition to the strong Private line-up. I recently read Private Moscow, which was my first Private book for a while but was instantly at home again with this one.
Consistent action and story/plot and some of the same old core of characters with a few additions thrown into the mix.
Overall can't really fault it as an action-thriller. You know what you're getting and it doesn't disappoint.
Many thanks for the preview copy
