When a mysterious former South African commando, Lucas Van Groot, begins taking wealthy hostages all over the world, it appears at first to be a typical ransom gambit. However, it soon becomes clear that his "Hostage Inc." venture is manipulating worldwide stock markets and threatening global economic collapse

Enter Black Box, the CIA's elite, secret special operations branch--so surreptitious that not even the Director of CIA is fully privy to the unit's activities. Black Box is composed of highly skilled agents who perform with precision:

Chameleons who can transform into myriad characters, Ghosts who are specialists in stealth and surveillance, Wind operatives who are transportation experts, andAberration agents whose specialty is deep cover for years.

Kali Kent, a Nigerian born and Bronxite Chameleon in the Black Box program, leads the hunt for Van Groot. Tracking this ringleader and his cadre of international criminals, the team discovers the South African mastermind is after a much larger prize and the race is on to prevent a worldwide tragedy.

Along the way, Kali will have to face the demons from his childhood and reflect on his emotional path that made him the Chameleon that he is today.

Military Thriller

This is a Military Thriller (Spy Thriller), and this is the first book in the Black Box Ops series. I really wanted to love this book, but that was just not the case with this book. I found this book really hard to follow because of a couple of reasons. The first reason was there were way too many characters, and the names of the characters were hard to remember. Some, of the characters talked about for a page or two and then was killed. I also filled this book with too many details which also made it hard to follow what was going on. After reading the book, and I had to keep re-reading some parts I still do not know 100% where the plot was trying to take the readers. I just think this book was a lot of action with no reason at times. The action scenes were well written, but there needs to be more. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
