Joe Johnson #6
The Black Sea
A Russian conspiracy in Washington, DC . . . A passenger jet is shot down, killing hundreds. A mole wreaks havoc in the White House. And an oligarch bent on the most malicious kind of revenge targets Joe Johnson.
War crimes investigator Johnson is sent undercover by his former employer, the CIA, to untangle a web of deceit and online blame games in Russia’s Black Sea region after the destruction of a Malaysian airliner in Ukraine.
But he quickly finds he has bitten off more than he can chew—and that the key to the conspiracy lies not in Moscow, but on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Johnson, his partner Jayne Robinson, and his friends in the CIA eventually have to come to terms with the fact that Russian methods of infiltrating the US are evolving faster than American counterintelligence realizes in the post-Cold War era, and they are struggling to catch up.
The drama reaches a climax in the US capital and on the Black Sea coast, where Johnson’s long-term nemesis has a stronghold.
The Black Sea , book number six in the Joe Johnson series, is a compelling spy thriller with multiple twists that you won’t want to put down.

A pulsating and satisfying finale to an awesome series. I'm not someone who is pleased easily when it comes to spy thrillers, especially when it comes to new authors but Andrew Turpin has churned out a flawless series which should be devoured by all thriller fans.
The shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines flight over Eastsrn Ukraine in 2014 serves as the focal point around which the plot revolves. The long standing rivalry between Joe Johnson and Yuri Severinov also comes to an inevitable end. But once again, its the brilliant research, attention to detail and story telling that makes this novel and the entire seriea an absolute delight.
5/5 for the novel and the overall series.

The cause of the tragic shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is ex-CIA war crimes investigator Joe Johnson’s latest assignment. The Black Sea is the sixth installment in the Johnson series and it has all the hallmarks of its predecessors: a riveting story, exemplary detail and a ‘real’ lead character. Like most thriller protagonists, Joe is on the side of right but, unlike them, he alcohol, drug and/or marital problems don’t assail him. However, he’s no pure, to-good-to-be-true character.
He teams with ex-MI6 agent Jayne Robinson in The Black Sea to track down the culprits who caused the demise of MH17, shot down over Ukraine in July 2014. The assignment takes them to the White House and Tuapse on Russia’s Black Sea coast where the unexpected climax happens. Also unexpected is the kidnapping by Joe’s nemesis, Russian oligarch Yuri Severinov; the pair have a 26-year history of conflict.
Severinov has problems of his own. A former Putin confident, he is on the outer and, after coming off worse in his last encounter with Joe, he is under pressure to prove himself by getting rid of his nemeses. He devises a plan, using Joe’s family to lure him into a trap. Meanwhile, Severinov’s some-time lover, one of the Russian Federal Security Service’s top agents Anastasia Shevchenko, has recruited the US National Security Advisor but when Joe disrupts an information exchange, the story takes an unexpected turn. Ever the opportunist, Shevchenko makes the most of the situation.
Joe is adept at making the most of what seem impossible situations. The narrative gains pace about the middle, leading to a thrilling and unexpected climax.
The Black Sea can be read as a stand-alone but I’d recommend its predecessors if you like thriller adventure that makes for entertaining escapism. The Afghan is where the six-part series starts.
Andrew Turpin, a former journalist, has included an extensive research and bibliography section at the end of the book which is a great resource for those interested in the subject.

This is the sixth book in the Joe Johnson series, and I adore it, but I am a tad behind with it.
Joe Johnson is on a well-earned holiday—well, he will be—with his sister Amy, his two children, and his work colleague/ partner Jayne. They are planning to catch another flight that will take them to their destination when a commercial aeroplane with passengers is shot down. The Ukraine is blamed, Russia's propaganda machine goes into overdrive and blames the US for providing the missile that downed the plane, and there are accusations from all sides. Joe and Jayne are called in to help, so much for the holiday, but that is only the tip of what is to come!
The author has created such a wonderful team with Johnson and Jayne, the former knowing the ins and outs of the US secret service types, and Jayne with the British. It is a great mix as I imagine some work together from different agencies around the world. The enemy is Russia and the facts used in the story are based on those of the Malaysian Airways Flight that was shot down by a surface-to-air missile.
The author has used this as the background for his story and then adapted the rest to work around it. While the first focus is on who shot it down and getting the proof, there is more to come. Starting to work through contacts, the US and Russians are going all out to put pressure on each other, in the midst of this is Joe and Jayne. Things then go disastrously wrong and have dire consequences.
This is such a fast-paced story and one that is full of facts based on true events, the author does go into great detail at the end of the book listing what he used and what he fictionally brought into the story. I do like this as it means I get more information about real events.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has been ongoing since 2014, but the recent escalations of 2022 have brought it back to the forefront of world news. This book was published in 2020 so reading it now gives such a different edge to it, especially as there have been attacks, threats and many deaths over the last couple of years.
Having Joe Johnson is brilliant for this series and he is such a great allrounder, able to defy the odds, but not without being injured and also that of Jayne, again another one who is not afraid to put herself in danger. This makes it great reading for fans who like to have a tough female character to follow as well as a male. She works so well that she also has her own series and that is my next read. Sorry, got side-tracked!
The use of agencies, spies, politicians and governments always appeals to me when I read this style of book, there are some that I automatically root for and those that I hope eventually get their comeuppance. This does not happen all the time, and as we know, there is always someone to fill the gap if and when this happens.
Using terms that are easy to understand to give the information in a way that flows with the story as well as well-researched background, this is an excellent book, as well as an excellent series. Ideal for fans of crime, thriller, world events, politics, spies, multi-agency and governmental influences. I adored this one and I would definitely recommend it.

A well-crafted thriller
Andrew Turpin’s Joe Johnson thrillers all have that authentic feeling of taking the reader to foreign lands, and putting his characters into nail-biting realistic crises.
Joe Johnson is not a generic superspy. He is primarily a researcher into international war crimes, whose actions bring him into confrontation with the persons or groups involved and who prefer to remain unseen and forgotten. So there will be a confrontation, and it won’t be pretty.
Turpin provides his readers with an enlightening commentary and a rich trove of research sources for each book. In this case, Russia’s efforts to destabilize Crimea, the Ukraine, and surrounding countries, with the intention of annexing land, people, and resources is the stuff of today’s news headlines. Into the mix goes the shooting down of civilian airliners, and the trolling of the United States through social media, and the reader quickly is made to understand that this is actually happening - as pages of fiction blur into the reality of world events.
I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed all of the Joe Johnson stories. I strongly recommend not only the books, themselves, but that they be read in chronological order, as there are many characters whose participation in the stories continue from one book through the next and the following. I have pre-ordered the first of the spin-off series involving Johnson’s co-worker, Jayne Robinson. It is a comforting feeling to know that there is another high-quality adventure due to be delivered to my Kindle in a month or two.

Well, what can you say about The Black Sea? Here's the archetypal 'boys own' type of adventure with good guys, very bad guys, bags of action, twists, detection, romance. The Black Sea has got everything.
Joe Johnson finds himself pitted against old enemies and some very nasty new ones. The odds against him are stacked as he's reluctantly dragged into a mission which looks as if it's bound to end in failure. But the villains reckoned without Joe, his partner Jayne and his influential side kick Vic. There's some pretty notable cameos; the President of the United States (not the real one!) and Vladimir Putin (I never did trust that guy. His eyes are too close together. He looks like a goat.).
The action is thrillingly described. There are two massive set pieces. Both are long and, in the past, I've often commented that action sequences, especially at the climax, go on for too long. Not so with Andrew Turpin's novels. He uses every word to telling effect.
A wonderful piece of escapism. Next up is a Jayne Robinson novel though Joe Johnson, despite getting long in the tooth, will continue to be a feature of our bookshelves.

Maybe you first Spy Novel
It wasn't as awful as I imagined it would be when they let us know that the kids would be kidnapped.. The writer didn't focus on the terror and violence of kidnapping and torture, so the emphasis was on working out 5h3 clues to find the spies andrescue the kids. It was q little dry for me. The characters were all pretty flat. The plot moved smoothly, but all in all it left me not really getting involved either with the characters pr the story, except that it was written with references to tragedies and the horror that we've just experienced and therefore felt more believable.

I have to say, at times, this story became believable. I would say, a deal of research was put into this. I took a huge gasp of disbelief, when the protagonist (former CIA but now a war crimes investigator) opts to take his female partner along on a do or die mission, when he’s tripping over special forces operators. Erm, difficult to conceive. I’m pretty athletic, pretty outdoor and I’ve been on the judo mat with my dad and my brothers since the age of six. Am I capable of acting as a member of a ‘special ops’ mission? This story has good parts, but it became too far-fetched for me.

This author is a master story teller! He has done it again! I love everything about this book, the story, the mix of characters, the locations, and the history beautifully woven into this story that makes the characters and the story come alive. So much so that you feel that you are with Joe Johnson. This is a wonderful series. So take another fast paced action packed ride with Joe and his friends and foe in Joe’s world of intrigue And you will not be disappointed.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, this is an outstanding series! The amount of detail that goes into the historical setting of each installment is incredible, and this time is no different. Joe Johnson finds himself up against a longtime enemy once again, but this time the stakes are higher than ever. The Black Sea was an intense culmination of big events, filled with good old spy story intrigue and thrilling political mystery.

Johnson and Jane are back in the thick of it as they again tackle Severenov ,pugachov and Putin as they investigate the downing of a Malaysian passenger jet over the Ukrain, whilst in Southern France Johnsons family are in grave danger . Spies,spies and more spies this fast paced novel travels from Portland Maine via Washington and London to the South of France, Russia and Turkey. Excellent read

A plot that is all too current and possible
Similar to a previous reviewer, I read one of the Joe Johnson books and then purchased the rest of them to read at a later date. None have failed to entertain! I would highly recommend Andrew Turpin as an author and look forward to reading anything he publishes.

Great fun book
Andrew Turpin keeps growing as an author and has become a fine craftsman with complex plots and characters. I thought this might be the final Joe Johnson book but I’m guessing we will hear more from him. It’s tough to keep one character going as Clancy found out with Jack Ryan.

International rivalry, tension, and espionage
Joe and Jayne expand their personal and professional teamwork as they investigate Russian destruction in Ukraine. Networks of good guys collaborate to stop the long game by bad guys. What exactly are the rules of engagement these days? Family life has little protection. Political expediency rules.

Read one spy thriller, read them all. NOT.
Just finished Andrew Turpin's
The Black Sea and along with the rest of the Joe Johnson series, it certainly deserves my five star rating. Anyone who loves historical fiction with espionage and a lot of intrigue will definitely not be able to put this series down. Great books.

The best of the series where events are tangible to history. Although you expect Joe and Jayne to resolve the plot the author sets realistic descriptions of the geography, politics and events that enhance the readability.
Overall a gripping series of books... thanks Author

The dinamick duo does it again
Joe and Jayne are two awesome agents, regardless of the odds against them. The Russians don’t stand a chance when taken head on as they fight to protect those they love. This read will leave you wanting more of Joe Johnson.
