Review, high praise for BLACK WATER, the China Connection

BLACK WATER, THE CHINA CONNECTION by Robert J Saniscalchi
A fast-paced cloak-and-dagger type covert ops story with plenty of action. Every bit as good as a Tom Clancy thriller. Enjoy!
Tightly written, expertly paced and action-packed, Black Water is a high octane ride. A taut, tense plot coupled with a lot of suspense and some edge-of-your-seat plot twists offers a real page turner in this highly engaging sequel to Danger Close... Think Red Dawn meets Clear and Present Danger meets Captain America meets Top Gun: Maverick.

"Black Water emerges as the latest novel from the talented Robert J. Saniscalchi, who continues to establish his name in the dynamic sphere of military fiction. This thrilling narrative shadows Jason Patrick and his formidable Delta Force team as they rise against an ominous threat to America – a malevolent scheme poised to contaminate the nation’s water.

The tale resumes after a five-year hiatus following the heroic exploits of Patrick and his team in their previous mission to safeguard the world. In the intervening years, Patrick has transitioned to a tranquil existence, complete with a loving wife and a newborn child, in the serene environs of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

This tranquil idyll, however, is abruptly shattered by intelligence reports indicating an impending assault on the States from China, an attack of unprecedented proportions. As Chinese operatives prepare to unleash this peril, Patrick and his team are once more summoned to the forefront of defense.

Black Water is a novel that offers substantial engagement for readers willing to embrace the story without overanalyzing the plot structure. Patrick, as a protagonist, is endearing, and Saniscalchi excels at wrenching the soldier away from his idyllic life to defend the world.

In addition to this, Saniscalchi adeptly encapsulates the brotherhood shared amongst Patrick’s Delta Force team. Returning characters from previous novels, such as Tex, Jorge, and Derek, interject elements of camaraderie, while newly introduced members contribute to the narrative’s richness. Saniscalchi skillfully balances character development with the onset of action, resulting in a harmonious flow of events. The action sequences are meticulously choreographed, reflecting Saniscalchi’s robust command over military operations. Readers acquainted with military fiction over the past two decades will find familiarity in Black Water.

“Black Water” is a captivating and accessible read, promising an engaging journey. The path to victory, however, remains an enjoyable and suspenseful exploration. June 9th Posted Literary Titan Reviews

 

 

BLACK WATER, THE CHINA CONNECTION, Goodreads review by Pikasho Readers' Favorite

 

"Fast-paced and action-packed, Black Water: The China Connection is a blistering ride from the first page to the last. Filled with suspense, intrigue, and a healthy dose of patriotic fervor, Robert J. Saniscalchi's novel feels like a paean to the American people who put their lives on the line to protect the country's interests. The cast of characters is quite large, but Saniscalchi gives them distinct traits and personalities in a short amount of page time that distinguish them from one another. I particularly liked the relationship dynamics between Jason and his team members. The narrative is smooth, with a tight plot devoid of fat or fluff. This is a book to be savored by military fiction aficionados.
