First of all I have to thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read this.
This is by far the best thriller I've read in years with a surprising twist at the end.
I am really looking forward to the next one in this series.
I didn't know when I started this that one of the characters, Sean Havens had his own series so know I've got the first one of those read and the second in my TBR pile.
I will not write about the content because there are so many places to read that, but I will say this if you like thrillers. Read this one.

It's about time the "Booger-Eaters" got some love in the Action/Thriller genre. Solid thriller with some interesting twists. I thought JT Patten did some fine character development. This is the 1st book in this series but there is quite a bit of history amongst these characters.

I was fortunate enough to receive an early copy of this novel, partnering with The Real Book Spy, in exchange for an unbiased review.

Wow! This book is the Tesla of thrillers. It goes from 0-100 in mere seconds. Kicking off with on of the best prologues I've ever read, J.T. Patten is flying up the ranks as one of the top writers in the genre with BURIED IN BLACK. You can tell Patten is more than a writer. With his insight in counterterrorism, in-field operations, cyber warfare, and everything in between, it is easy to see that Patten knows exactly what he's writing about. As someone who works in cybersecurity, I was partially expecting to be hyper-critical of every and any technological slip-up, but everything was spot on. He hit the nail on the head with every, little detail. It felt almost like a Clancy novel but was half as long (which is a good thing). Patten introduces his newest character, Drake Woolf, who is easily one of the most impressive protagonists I've seen in years, and takes him on a wild adventure around the world.

BURIED IN BLACK is non-stop action from the first page until you flip the back cover. It is one of those books that will literally have your heart racing as you read it. I can't recommend this book enough, especially if you're a fan of thrillers. Great characters, great plot, great insight, great action, perfect thriller.
