Description

• A New York Times Bestseller • Former Special Forces Officer and New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor delivers a heart-pounding thriller where Pike Logan's search for a Mossad agent and ally puts him on a collision course with a ruthless military coup in Africa—and tests his loyalties to the Taskforce.

It was to be a simple mission. Nothing more than assessing whether a merchant in the fabled Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved in a scheme that could potentially embarrass the state of Israel. But nothing is ever simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman—a former leader of an elite direct action team under the Mossad—should have known. Executing the operation as a contractor, a cutout that gave the State of Israel plausible deniability, he disappears without a trace.

Pike Logan and his team know none of this, but he’s tracking an American arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may—or may not—be attempting to sell sensitive nuclear weapons components to the highest bidder. When Pike’s team breaks up an attempt at killing Shoshana, Aaron’s partner, they stumble upon much more than they expected—a concerted conspiracy to topple a democratic African country.

Beginning to untangle a web that extends through both the American and Israeli intelligence community, Pike is forced to choose between his Israeli friends and his Taskforce mission, even as the execution of the coup begins to form. At the heart of it is Aaron, and his disappearance is the one mistake the plotters made. Because Shoshana is the greatest killing machine the Mossad has ever produced, and she will stop at nothing to help Aaron, even if it means killing Pike Logan.

Another great Pike Logan story, filled with action and adventure that will keep you reading deep into the night! I love these stories and look forward to the next book.
First disappointment

Have really enjoyed all the Pike Logan books and enjoyed most of this one but having Pike scheme to involve the Taskforce in a coup directly contrary to policy and the Taskforce charter was so unnecessary and contradicts the operational values of the team to date that I actually found it offensive. Weak ending as well.
Great

Read them all in the span of a month; Pike Logan and the Taskforce is one of those series you literally cannot put down and cannot get enough of. Reading Daughter of War right now and couldn’t have been happier when it came out. Brad Taylor for president.

Surely not the best. Too convoluted

Boring. Slow moving. Repetitive.
Good again!

I love a book that has enough realism, that when I stop to Google something that I read about, it turns out it is real. There are so many examples in this book I wouldn’t even know where to start. As a former member of Special Operations myself, I found the various fighting scenes very realistic and believable. The only weak part of the story was Shoshana’s ability to “read” people and her sense of ESP. I for one, am really happy that there are no real women like that. Now that would be very scary.

Although I’ve enjoyed all the Pike Logan books, this one is perhaps his best since the first or second book. Great and original plot. Pulse pounding with excellent character development. My only complaint, don’t make us wait so long for the next in series Mr. Taylor!

Action packed. Kept the reader engrossed and not wanting to put the book down. Highly recommend this book, as well as all of Pike Logan’s book.
