Titus Black is a survivor.

Even after getting ousted from the CIA, Black managed to land on his feet. And while his government may have quit on him, he’s not about to quit on it...even when he’s falsely accused of murder....

When black ops agent Titus Black embarks on a rescue mission, he comes back with more than just a left-for-dead pilot - he comes back with questions about an alleged secret operation that threatens to shatter trust in the U.S. military. As Black and the clandestine organization he works for start to unravel the mystery, he finds himself caught in the crosshairs of a plot to silence him.

But if Black intends on getting justice and exposing the corruption, he must avoid capture and save the one man who wants him dead more than anything...the President of the United States.

If you like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne or Stephen Hunter’s Bob Lee Swagger, you’ll love Titus Black.

Behind Enemy Lines by RJ Patterson is the first in a series of novels that introduces us to the hero, Titus Black. Black is a CIA operative who has been sent behind enemy lines in order to find and rescue a downed air force pilot. He finds his man, but in the process of getting him to safety, comes across another operation taking place; an operation that he was never meant to see. Now, on the run from the organization that he has worked for for most of his life, Black has to stop doing investigations in order to find out what was going on and why the CIA wants him 6 feet under the ground. To make matters worse, it appears Black will have to go all the way to the President if he hopes to get any answers.
Patterson has created a new character who takes us on an amazing thrill ride. Titus is clever, fast, strong, and a bit of a loose cannon. He is highly dedicated to his country and will work, even against his own organization, to keep his country and his people safe. The novel is well written and the characters are well developed. The settings are nicely described which makes visualizing the events easy for the reader. I look forward to the next installment in the series and where the character will take us next.

Not sure how I have missed this author previously but am always happy to find a 'new' one. Have him on follow now so I don't miss the next one in this ssries.

On this assignment (and the beginning of a new series), Titus Black is donning his scuba gear and on his way to a covert mission to rescue an AF pilot downed by a SAM. The pilot is being held in a Russian prison and the rescue is on.

There is a lot of action and adventure in this novel. Toss in a murder, and a mystery for more excitement! The addition of Tatiana, a 15 year old girl, adds an extra depth to this one. Wow is a good word to describe that entire plot line.

Excellent character development, a multi- layered plot line coupled with intense action will keep the reader on the edge of their seats. And, I will read on when the next one is available.

Most highly recommended.

Political intrigue

CIA agent Titus black did the impossible: he rescued an abandoned pilot who was stranded behind enemy lines. In the process he stumbled over a secret operation that is shattering his trust in the organization he has dedicated his life to. As he looks for answers, things start to heat up for him as he comes to the attention of high officials involved and who would rather see him dead. Titus is a gritty character, but he is loyal to his country and his oaths and wants to follow his moral compasses in life, even if it puts him at odds with what he loves.
One thing to remember, this is a fiction novel. There are liberties taken, that as a former USAF member are not realistic, but in the vein of fiction I can accept them. The action is fast, the intrigue is twisted and convoluted, the mystery and suspense are enough to really keep you glued to the book.

Vastly engaging. Looking forward to the next book

If you are –like me –a fan of The Bourne Saga or Clancy’s brilliant Jack Ryan, you will love this book. All the necessary elements for an engaging, thrilling saga are present. Fast-Paced action scenes, engaging dialogue (realistic, witty but not to the point of being robotic or cheesy), a bit of trustfulness mixed with literary liberty –otherwise we might as well just watch the news! And an extremely likable character.

Some people may prefer the perfect GI Joe patriotic character, but Titus Black is human enough to be relatable with enough amount of superhero in him to be inspiring. Working for the CIA in a rescue operation, he accidentally finds about a different turbulent situation developing behind the enemy lines. Attempting to save his Country –while at the same time antagonizing with US authorities –Titus Black must work his way up to the President to fix the trouble. The only problem is the President wants him dead.

A new thriller Hero!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Pacific Northwest author Jack Patterson writes with the verve that accompanies good journalism: he has written articles for some of our major newspapers such as The New York Times and is the recipient of many journalistic awards. That acumen is evident in his book THE WARREN OMISSIONS (five have dealt with sports, Patterson's obsession since childhood), a mystery thriller with the JFK assassination and controversy at its core. Continuing his highly successful thriller series, each series named for the chosen title character, Patterson opens his new series – a Titus Black Thriller, Book 1 – and we are introduced to yet another ongoing highly skilled creation of a character that we want to follow. Titus Black is a black ops agent whose skills and derring-do match any of those committed to books to this date – he explores possible secret operations to upend corruption.

One of the many positive aspects of Jack Patterson's books is ability to engage the reader from the first paragraph and then sustain that level of interest until the story is complete. Nowhere is that gift more important than in writing mystery thrillers. For a taste of this new series (a very timely one), the opening of the book follows: ‘Titus Black checked all his scuba gear one final time as the lockout trunk filled up with water. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Missions that involved time in the ocean ranked last in his list of favorite assignments. “How are you doing in there?” asked Christina Shields, Black’s handler at the secret black ops program Firestorm, in her sultry voice. “It’s a day at the beach,” Black said. “For most people, that’d be a good thing,” she said. “But I know you’re not like most people.” “Give me a mountain with five hostiles on the ridge any day.”’ And in that short opener Patterson has our complete attention held to the last page.

The synopsis: ‘Titus Black is a survivor. Even after getting ousted from the CIA, Black managed to land on his feet. And while his government may have quit on him, he’s not about to quit on it … even when he’s falsely accused of murder …When black ops agent Titus Black embarks on a rescue mission, he comes back with more than just a left-for-dead pilot—he comes back with questions about an alleged secret operation that threatens to shatter trust in the U.S. military. As Black and the clandestine organization he works for start to unravel the mystery, he finds himself caught in the crosshairs of a plot to silence him. But if Black intends on getting justice and exposing the corruption, he must avoid capture and save the one man who wants him dead more than anything … the President of the United States.’

Another first class thriller from the talented Jack Patterson. Grady Harp, October 19

Titus Black

I haven't read any of his adventures before, but what a story, I was held until the end, never knowing how it would turn out, but I was not disappointed. A thoroughly first class read, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a very unputdownable (if there is such a word) book and is prepared to lose sleep over it

An ok book I finished because I was curious about the ending. It got better as the book went on but simple mistakes have been left in text. Will probably read the next book to see if the author has settled into the story

Failed to make it

Reviewed in Australia on December 12, 2019

I found it a Labour to keep reading. Poor plot development with little by way of character development meant that the story was badly disconnected. The use of grammar style at times did not fit the common context of story situations. Too formal. I gave up reading it five pages from the end. Just too much froth to wade through. This is one author I will assiduously avoid in future. Nothing thriller about this one. More a driller.
