This review is from: Alpha Force 9: Black Gold (Paperback)

Black Gold is a very good book. Chris Ryan is an excellent writer. But i was disappointed because Hex and Amber, and Paulo and Li still haven't hooked up yet. I know that both pairs like each other. I thought it wasn't as good as Ryan's other books but it's still very good.
