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. The enemy has devised a lethal compound known as “Black Water,” capable of transforming any water source into a toxic hazard with mere droplets. 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.
