From the moment I picked up Black Dog Escape, I knew I was in for an adventure. The author’s experience as a Navy Seal lends an incredible level of authenticity to the narrative that is rarely found in the genre of military thrillers. The plot is intricate, compelling, and full of unexpected twists and turns. W.L Bach has a knack for creating richly drawn characters that are as complex as they are relatable. The protagonist’s evolution throughout the story is deeply engaging. Overall, this book is more than just a military thriller. It’s a study in resilience, camaraderie, and the human spirit. – Amazon Review
