Deeper Than Deep State

In this explosive new series, former intelligence expert J. T. Patten takes you deep inside the top-secret operations you'll never see on the news: our deadliest weapons in the war against terror....

Buried in Black

In the clandestine world of shadow ops, he's known as The Man from Orange. A master of surveillance, signals intelligence - and silent killing - special operative Drake Woolf has been groomed and trained by the old-guard intel community after his CIA father and mother were murdered in Tunisia. Now he works for Task Force Orange, handling cases the government doesn't want its fingerprints on. Woolf can always be relied on to carry out an assignment with surgical precision - and exterminate a threat with extreme prejudice.

But his latest mission is different. Woolf knows the targets personally. He trained them in Iraq to be the perfect killing machines. Known as the "Mohawks", these Iraqi rebels know our secrets, our strengths, and our weaknesses. And they're using this knowledge to launch the deadliest attack the world has ever seen - on American soil....

I will read at least one more in this series to see where it goes, though I have to admit I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the details . . . this book is probably 3 hours longer than it needs to be.

good enough

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.

I was very impressed with the narration. It was superb.

Incredible start to a new series

The beginning was promising, offering a different kind of protagonist (Bird Dog). The pace was fast, and the writer seemed interested in character development. A little past half way something happened as the story became confusing (not non-understanding, more like jumping around). It was a bit overwhelming and annoying.
I did however finish it and I was glad I did as the writer, in my opinion, settled down and let the story develop. The ending normalized the story a bit and left the door open for the next chapter. Not sure that I’d buy it but one never knows. After a day or two, once I’ve digested, I just might. Happy listening.

Entertaining and Oddly Paced.

Imaginative story built around the title which, says it all. This is better if you go with the story line.

Interesting tech story

Nothing to dislike about this one! It’s up there with Clancy, Flynn, Greaney, Carr and I’ve read them all. I love the underlying humor in this book - hoping for more soon!!

Fantastic leading characters!

Narrative

I enjoyed this book & will began next one in series tonight. Enjoyed the storyline, but the narration voices did not match the characters. Voices seemed to all be neutral, not male or female & it was difficult matching voices to specific characters. If same problem in book 2, will not finish series.

I liked the story and obviously listened to the end but the dialogue—-well the writing in general was cliche, trite, and never surprising. The characters were cardboard cutouts. I listen to these kinds or books when I drive so I don’t expect a literary masterpiece. But I finished it and enjoyed the story.

If you look up cliche in the dictionary…

I wouldn't recommend using this narrator. I was hoping that he might have gotten better through the story but, that didn't happen. I'm on the second book and it's the same narrator... no improvement ...@#¥£!!. Any chance you can redo both books with a different narrator? please!!?!!?

Find another narrator!!!!!!
