"Sullivan has a knack for the thriller."
~ New York Times writer Tim Wu, author of The Master Switch, The Attention Merchants, and The Curse of Bigness.

The internet was the people's great equalizer. That's why the American aristocracy had to take it away.

MIT graduates Hart Galliston and Rockle Farnsworth are two weeks away from unveiling their revolutionary display technology when a deadly chance encounter pits them against Senator Martin Lancaster. Hart and Rockle seek vengeance by pursuing one of Martin's daughters, the infamous heiress Brielle Lancaster. However, all is not what it seems with Brielle. Soon, Brielle and her two siblings join Hart and Rockle on a quest far more dangerous than revenge. Hart and his friends are uncommon rebels: a computer engineer, a programmer, a socialite, a cable news anchor, and a street artist.

Daniel Sullivan's BLACK COLLAR thrills with unpredictable twists and meaningful details, captivating as both a progressive social commentary and a dark suspenseful read.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

5,0 su 5 stelle Addictive who done it and revenge story . Fantastic novel
Recensito in Canada il 12 aprile 2018

The author has written a fast paced novel both addressing the fight of a personal cause and a greater cause for society around the issue of net neutrality. I enjoy the personal adventure of seeking personal revenge and also that of taking on the elite to ensure internet freedom for everyone.

5,0 su 5 stelle Tchno-thriller for us geeks out there.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 5 luglio 2017

Finally got round to reading this book, wish I'd done it sooner. As a retired software engineer and a total nerd my usual fare is space opera SF and urban fantasy but this techno-thriller was right down my street.

The story moved along at a good pace and covered issues which are still current. I thought the characterization was a bit simplistic but it didn't spoil the story telling for me. The (mis)naming of the corporations was a bit naive and obvious but I'm still not sure if Mr Sullivan's tongue wasn't firmly in cheek when doing so!

I bought this on a 0.99p offer but I shall keep my eye peeled for book 2 in the series and happily pay the full price on the basis of this one.

So sir, do you plan on finishing the trilogy (having whetted our appetites)? and, if so, do you have an eta?

5,0 su 5 stelle Black Collar is a Must Read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 luglio 2015

“Necessitous men are not free men.”

From the epigraph to its final paragraph, the political thriller Black Collar by first-time author Daniel Sullivan, is an excellent and engaging work of literary fiction.

Black Collar is set in a fictional America where a half dozen colossal media corporations determine 90% of what citizens read, watch, or listen to; where the U.S. Supreme Court has handed those same corporations carte blanche influence over local, state and federal political elections; where shadowy government agencies routinely conduct massive, illegal surveillance of the domestic communications of millions of ordinary Americans; and where that last bastion of free speech - the internet - finally succumbed to the corporate onslaught and died with a whimper under the auspices of the American Liberty Equal Internet Act or ALEIA. Did I say Black Collar was set in a fictional America?

This is the America Hart Galliston and his best friend and business partner, Rockle Farnsworth, confront. Recent graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the two are about to launch a software startup called Rockhart Technology, when an evil both banal and extraordinary touches the Galliston family.

Black Collar is a real page-turner that is socially and politically relevant and insightful. Stylistically the language is lean and tight, always driving the story forward. The characters are realistic, engaging, and dynamic. The plotting of Black Collar is well-conceived, the narrative internally consistent, and the action highly cinematic.

I had all but abandoned fictional novels because while their style is indeed realistic, their plotting usually strives to avoid reality at all cost. Black Collar is different, it’s the epitome of realistic fiction and far surpasses most contemporary examples of the genre. My only regret is that I binged and read the book too quickly (I told you it was a real page-turner). I hope Mr. Sullivan will release his second volume of the Uncommon Rebels trilogy soon, I can’t wait to see what happens and how these characters mature. One thing I know for sure, someone from Hollywood needs to translate this work of literature to film because Black Collar would also make a great movie.

Bravo, Daniel Sullivan. Bravo.

I really enjoyed the book as I was impressed with the subject of privatizing the internet. Quite well written and keep me reading. Didn't catch on about Moe until it was revealed. Found the male/female relationships a little corner and too easy. I would recommend the book and can't wait to read the next two.
Hurry up and write Daniel

4,0 su 5 stelle Oh to be brilliant and rich...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 marzo 2014

This book goes from 0 to 100 mph and just stays there the entire time. It is a book that mixes politics with vengeance, murder, freedoms, entitlement and some very amazing hacking.

Are all technology people born cleverly devious? In this book they are sidelining financial institutions, broadcasting frequencies, credit cards, my personal favorite was the paintball gun setup.

This comes down to the question of this: If you had the intelligence and the money to do the right thing, and by doing so save something invaluable to your country, would you do it ? Even if you or your friends could potentially land in prison or worse.

This is what the book is about. A group of people is faced with an untenable situation involving the Internet, some Senators, vengeance and a lot of creativity. They all answer the question the same way, and proceed to put innovative plans in place to make problems go away.

The book pointed out the corruption in government, the deregulation of industries which has resulted in lower quality products and reinforcement of the Good Old Boys Network. There is a rousing peech on White Monday which I found very true and heartfelt. It is where Black Collar is defined.

This is not a novel where you will get confused about who is good and who is evil, it is obvious, maybe not from the very beginning, but shortly after. The characters on the side of good aren't all fabulously attractive, well one of them isn't, the rest of them are. They all have millions of dollars, though some of that was self-made. The good people are young, interesting, brilliant, artistic and relatively moral. The Evil ones can be fabulously attractive too, but aren't necessarily. The main one is. All the evil ones are filthy rich.

The story pits one side against the other, and actually practically the entire country against one of them. ( can't tell, you'll have to read it ). The depth and breadth of the plots that the youngsters get up to is the high entertainment in the book, as well as the results they cause.

Overall: Read It! It is a message of optimism in a time of greed, political corruption and collusion. It is a great adventure. If I could do these things, I would be hacker enemy #1
