The Storm
HARD HITTING. FAST PACED.
QUICK, EXPLOSIVE THRILL RIDES.
BLACK FORCE SHORTS BY MATT ROGERS.
Lagos, Nigeria. A city with a population pushing twenty million, but government black operative James Xu is only interested in one man. In a rundown seaside bar damp with humidity he confronts Jimmy Neak, a lowly deckhand set to make a voyage on an international freighter across the Gulf of Guinea in a few short hours. Time is of the essence. U.S. military intelligence fears the Cambodian-American has been radicalised in the aftermath of his brother’s violent death. They task Xu with finding out why.
What he uncovers sends him on an explosive, pulse-pounding voyage into the bowels of a gigantic merchant vessel…
…as it heads for one of the most devastating storms in recent history.

'Never put me on a boat again!'...
A quick paced , suspenseful story that has all the grit and elaboration of characters as does a full length novel. This author, Matt Rogers, is so good, you start to read and definitely can not stop.!
The special operator in this story, Xu, uses his quick reaction time and dry humour to help get himself through a trying time. A computer with all Black Force information has been stolen, and Xu must locate it.
I love reading these Black Force shorts!!

Black Force shorts are short reads, each book recounting one of the operations carried out by an operative. In this book, Black Force operative James Xu, who has appeared in the first instalment of Black Force shorts, is boarding a freighter as a deckhand to nab the turncoats who have run away with a laptop containing Black Force secrets. There's an obscene amount of action, blood and gore and by the time the book ends, you start feeling your limbs paining. That's how graphic the narrator is. Matt Rogers is my favourite author in action and adventure genre.

Another great short in this awesome series.
The only thing that is bothersome in these is the complete beat down these guys get they cant move or function to do anything then after the bad shit happens, they all of a sudden have this strength and power and ability to fight that the were unable to summon a minute or two earlier! Author needs to find a different angle here it is happening the same in every one . That said I love this series and wait for more.

A MR. Black Force Thriller (BFSB - 6)/ Nigeria

It is the first time in South Africa for the operative and things do not go according to plan. Instead of remaining in Nigeria he has to catch a ship to follow the device.

Great quick read
As a weekend warrior and one time Krav Maga practitioner, though not a very good one, I love these books. I read them while at the gym on a Kindle. Always revs me up a bit. Compels me to rip-off a few round kicks on the heavy bag! Work a little harder, push a little more.

Another great short from Matt Rogers. They're all action filled but the nice thing is the different personalities and the different mindsets. Don't miss this continuing series or his full length novels..This from a diehard mystery lover.

Another Great Black Force Short
These books are perfect for a night or two reading. So far I have managed to read all of the Black Force books and I highly recommend them. Matt Rogers never fails to keep you turning the pages.

I couldn't put the book down. Awesome action and intriguing plot. The story was constantly moving from crisis to crisis that you couldn't stop reading.
