Raves and Reviews
"A gripping, fast-paced, and frighteningly real tale told with bravado and expertise by someone who was there! Wall to wall action from start to finish. You will not put this book down!"
– Christopher Reich, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"As a former Marine, Betley really knows his stuff. Fans of nonstop, nail-biting action will love this one!"
– Kyle Mills, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Matthew Betley has proven he’s an accomplished writer. Overwatch is a brilliantly conceived thriller that surges from the first chapter through mounting deception to a powerful conclusion."
– Clive Cussler, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Matthew Betley’s Overwatch crackles with authenticity. You wonder how much of it is true."
– Matthew Reilly, Author of Ice Station, Seven Deadly Wonders, and The Great Zoo of China
“Bridging the gap between first-hand military experience and thrilling fictional adventure story, Overwatch is a great read for veterans and non-veterans alike.”
– General (Retired) Stan McChrystal, former Commander, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC)
"Matthew Betley bursts onto the stage with a thriller that dares you to put it down. It is rare to find a debut novel that keeps you up all night, furiously flipping pages, but Overwatch does that- and more."
– Joshua Hood, author of CLEAR BY FIRE
"Overwatch is an exceptional read - a thoroughly engrossing thriller that reminds us of battles fought and threats we still face. We might have expected from Matthew Betley the gripping battlefield accounts that could only come from a seasoned warrior. But the humanity of its characters and the relentless drive of its narrative will make readers impatient for Betley's next book."
– Stephen Hayes, The Weekly Standard
"Betley has made Logan someone readers can relate to and feel for. He’s human, like the rest of us. In a genre where most protagonists are a pair of tights and a cape away from being Superman, this is a welcomed and refreshing change of pace....Overwatch is my early pick for the best debut novel of 2016!"
– The Real Book Spy
“Pace and authenticity are the calling cards here and Betley has both in spades.”
– Men Reading Books
“Rousing…Betley writes a good fight scene and knows how to plot”
– Publishers Weekly
“A stunningly adept thriller, Overwatch heralds great things to come from Matthew Betley.”
– pop-topia.com
“A former Marine himself, Betley proves himself an able heir to the throne currently held by the likes of Brad Thor and the late, great Vince Flynn. But Betley also incorporates a quest for a historical artifact reminiscent of James Rollins and Steve Berry,resulting in a structurally flawless read, unafraid to tackle difficult issues like PTSD as well. Not to be missed.”
– Providence Journal
“Overwatch is the good stuff featuring a hero with the right stuff, a one-sit read that is set very much in the real world.”
– Bookreporter.com
"Matthew Betley’s Overwatch is a high-stakes, high-speed, and high-testosterone thrill ride. With a relentless pace and ultra-realistic action, this novel smashes a metal fist through the military-thriller genre. Fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor will enjoy Betley's dynamite debut."
– Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of BACK BLAST
