too predictable
I have read several Scott Matthews’ books in different Series, and each of them took a long time to solve a problem. There are many references to sophisticated equipment that, Adam Drake or other main characters in other Series had access to but failed to provide convincing details?
I have read several adventures in different Series and the plot seem to become repetitive.
Saying the above, initially I enjoyed the first or second books in his series.

Scott Matthews has done it again.
Black Dragon will keep you engaged with the novel you will not be able to put down.
I’ve read the entire series of Adam Drake and I look forward to the next release date.

Good plot; dreadful editing.
Only a couple of " continuity" errors in this one, but dozens and dozens of editing errors and typos. At times it was as if it had been written in a foreign language and translated into English by a school kid.

This is a very good book in a set of very good books. The story lines are exciting, well written, and seem very real. They are well researched books but are spoiled by the vast amount of typos, wrong words and bad grammar. I have read similar comments.
