"Blackfire", by Ty Patterson

Hawke and Stryker book #1

With 7 series in his library adding one more seemed to have been a breeze for Mr. Patterson. He has his formulae pat down to a tee and once again has giving us a new series with all the excitement we have come to expect and once again provided us with an action packed thriller introducing his new players: New York’s toughest PIs, former forces operatives Axtion Hawke and Kael Stryker.

When a mundane corporate espionage case lands on their desk and soon a sinister turn of events starts after their client is threatened, they then find themselves entangled in ruthless cartels, corrupt politicians and crooked cops.....Buckle up for a high-octane read.....

I am a huge fan of this author and have read all of his 47 books so far and plan to follow up in the future. I know his style will have a lot of action, lots of shooting, killings, lots of Kung foo style action, bad guys galore and good guys heroes and let’s not forget a story that is exciting and fast pace. “Blackfire” follows the same pattern as all of Mr. Patterson books. I know by now to be in the mood for this kind of stories in order to enjoy every moment.

Once started, the story captured my attention immediately and held it throughout. I like the new players, Hawke and Stryker, PIs with flair and ethics what is not to like. They are well-done and their action is in tune with their profession. To tight things up a bit, cameo appearance from Zeb and his team always here to save the day.... This is a good first outing for these two guys.

Although I like this new series and was such a thrilling experience to pass time reading it, I have to admit it is not my preferred series and this by far.

Thank you Mr. Patterson once again you made my day.
