From the first sentence, I was reminded of my time in the Army and the realization of having to actually prepare to go to war. "Get in and get out. What do you think this is, some kind of game?" Devin snarled." THAT is what grabbed me, and continued to hold me as Mr. Howard details the mechanisms of intrigue and intricately reveals the brokenness of mankind in his quest for supremacy. I was at once transported to my time of working with sensitive material. Mr. Howard masterfully introduces the reader to relatable, real-world characters, motives and spirit, while simultaneously introducing the plausible realities of weaponry in our very real world.

"The Invisible Enemy: Black Fox" is not the genre I normally read. Having a couple of friends that haved actually worked in special forces I was curious as to the happenings and wanted a little insight as to what goes on "behind the scenes." Mr. Howard knows the world that he throws the reader into from page one. As a writer Mr. Howard has done a fabulous job of making the reader feel he has left the safety and comfort of his world and entered a dark and sinister place where the reader soon becomes a part of----There is no doubt that Mr. Howard is an expert in his field and he has painted a picture that some may find hard to view. However, he has left no doubt that he knows his story, characters and their world as dark and fearful as it may be. This novel will not disappoint.An exciting read from cover to cover! [5 STARS]
The Invisible Enemy: Black Fox gives you a ringside seat to the game. As a technology specialist and Dept of Defense insider for over 10 years, Howard reveals these secrets in his book, including new once-classified weapons systems, and real secret government agencies that are unknown to civilians.
An amazing and intriguing read. If you are into this genre, strap in and take a ride that is certain to leave you thrilled and wanting more. Two words...BUY IT! [5 STARS]
I'll start by saying I loved this book. This was such a different read for me. I love to read outside the box and this was just that. This was expressed in such a way I was looking over my shoulder eyeing everyone weird as anyone could have been a spy. This was so real to me I was saying `you can't make this up'.
Staff Recommended!
The author does a masterful job in setting the plot for this terrific spy novel. As I began to read the book, I could not put it down. I normally read very casually, but I read this book in a couple of days! It was extremely riveting. The locations in DC and the surrounding suburbs (Columbia, MD) were real streets that I have actually driven on. The background on the Russian and American agents was marvelously written. How they had infiltrated America and blended in, was a little scary. I could barely wait for the sequel, that was just as captivating. Whether or not you like spy novels, this book is a must read. Enjoy. [5 STARS]

Page Turning Thriller!!! Let me just say this book really intrigued me. I'm not a movie thriller customer and I cant even bare to watch a scary movie, but the title alone sparked my curiosity, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone. The invisible enemy is an awesome read and I just could not put it down! It kept me missing my favorite reality TV shows, because I could not wait to get to the next chapter to see what would happen next. I love the plot leads and the way it keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. The story has a little love in it, which I love as an author myself. Well written and I cant wait to read the sequel, HURRY when is it coming. You got me hooked!!!!!. [5 STARS]
The Invisible Enemy was a very good book. I normally don't read spy novels but after I read the summary, I thought I would give a try. I wasn't disappointed. The characters were well developed and the storyline kept you intrigued. Lots of action and advanced technology that was described in great detail. It made me wonder if these things really exist in the world. I am definitely telling my friends about this book and am getting the next one. No question about it!
Got a copy of this book and all I can say is that I absolutely loved it. I haven't read many spy/assassin centered books but this one really blew me away. I stayed up so late the first night I started reading it because I couldn't put it down. I'm really hoping there's more, either a sequel or another book by Anthony Howard that comes out soon because this book really captivated me and took me to a whole other world. No matter what type of genre's you like, this book simply doesn't disappoint. Completely different that what I ever expected but so, so worth it. [5 STARS]
