3.0 out of 5 stars
Fitting sequel to Rogue Male,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rogue Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is not as well plotted or as suspenseful as 'Rogue Male' but if you've read the first book you can appreciate the difficulty of a sequel. The hero lost a lot of things in 'Rogue Male' and it only makes it harder for him to accomplish his goals in 'Rogue Justice.' How he tries and what he discovers in his pursuit make a good Geoffrey Household story. It does have a fine, fine ending.

A Fugitive's Last Stand,
By Acute Observer (By the Shore NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rogue Justice (Hardcover)
Forty years later this 1982 novel continued the story of "Rogue Male" for the further adventures of Raymond Ingelram. Ingelram returned to Europe with the South American passport and arrived in Berlin to pose as a Nazi sympathizer. Ingelram's attempt to stay in Sweden failed. After he returned to Germany he was arrested, as the Gestapo had learned of his false passport. Luck let him escape from prison, then make his way into occupied Poland to escape to the middle East. There are style differences from his earlier work. This story has more adventures and events, but seems more fictional that way, or, designed for a film script (the cast of contrasting characters). But by this time the market for WW II adventure dramas was gone.
This book also describes life in the wild for a lone hunter, living without human comforts. Those who have spent weeks in a jungle can best comment on these pages. In the end "Bill Smith" finds the death that he seemed to be seeking in these stories. The moral of this story is the need for the proper tool when ridding a farm of a predatory big cat. The oath of never firing a shot seems to have been invented to write finish to this story. [Unstated is the unhappy childhood of a Englishman whose mother was Austrian, an enemy alien.] There is one fault in this story, where Casimir says the two Slovaks didn't speak a word of Polish. These two West Slavic tongues are similar, they say.
