“I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers with a military theme, especially ones that take place in an exotic locale.” — Stephen O. Sears, Author of Sunniland and The Orinoco Uranium

“Black Silver delivers the fun readers should expect from an action/adventure novel. There’s treasure and seaplanes and sinister foes on a forgotten island. Sunken ships. Innocent people in danger. Oh, and an unconventionally dashing hero. Everything the genre demands for a good time. This is a book for those rainy afternoons or sunny beach days when you have the time to be carried away. Havok and Stone are a great pair, and I hope they return.”  — Regina Sakalarios-Rogers, Ph.D., Instructor & Intern Coordinator, Department of English, University of West Florida

“Lover's of impeccably researched historical fiction will feel very at home in the world that Abrahamson creates. This maritime adventure lacks nothing! It is a well-developed suspenseful journey to the very last page!”— Miriam Hoover, History M.A., Office Administrator, University of West Florida, English Department

“What a thrilling read! Not only is the book a fun time, but the author’s use of detail, bulked up with personal experience and knowledge, creates a book dripping with authenticity. The only concern: when is the author’s next book coming out. Can’t wait!” — Kendra Kennedy, Senior Archaeologist

“A suspenseful tale of adventure that transports readers into a world of spies, business tycoons, Russian commandos, and the tortured innocent. Abrahamson’s excellent use of technical details trickled throughout the storyline provides for an authenticity that makes the reader believe the author writes from personal life experiences while mixed in with a fantastic imagination. The main character, Havok, is a fun, yet serious and dynamic character who thwarts challenges at every turn providing for a journey of adventure, intrigue, and betrayal. Once the reader thinks the action has come full circle, the ever-evolving storyline throws you right back into another jaunt until the very end!” — Siska Williams, Senior Archaeologist

“Black Silver is a rollicking story sizzling with adventure…a captivating tale of action and swashbuckling characters. At the same time, he keeps the plot and storyline flowing with misadventures, humor, and a side of romance…”  — Stephanie Henley, DVM, and a voracious reader of fiction and science-fiction novels and short stories.

“Black Silver is a well-written story and is quite entertaining. While I enjoyed the action-adventure novel, as a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, I could see Abrahamson worked hard to accurately detail the action and the characters’ use of weapons and explosives. In other words, he got his story straight. I will be looking forward to more stories written by Wayne Abrahamson.” — Stephen Welch, Combat Engineer, US Army

 “...a great read! In Black Silver, Wayne Abrahamson creates a fast-moving storyline filled with action and a plot backed up by his excellent use of technical details. Those details include the use of a WWII submarine as background, and the character’s handling of weapons and innovative use of demolitions to carry the action.” — Keenan Finkelstein, Submarine Service, US Navy.

“Black Silver is straight-up adventure. The novel is fast-paced historic fiction that takes place on tropical isles. Treasure, boats, guns, airplanes, and adventure are packed into this entertaining read. I can't wait for the second Joseph Havok Adventure!” — Mathew Kuehne, Advanced open-water SCUBA diver, BA in Anthropology, private pilot, small-business owner, and entrepreneur.
