Reviews"Fresh plot, great action, and Taylor clearly knows what he is writing about. . . . When it comes to tactics and hardware he is spot-on." -Vince Flynn on All Necessary Force "The high violence level and authentic military action put Taylor, a retired Delta Force officer, solidly in the ranks of such authors as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn." - Publishers Weekly "Readers of novels set in the world of Special Forces have many choices, but Taylor is one of the best." - Booklist on Enemy of Mine "Satisfies from start to finish." - Kirkus Reviews on Enemy of Mine, Praise for No Fortunate Son "[E]dge-of-your-seat thriller...nonstop action, intricate story line, and jaw-dropping plot twists." -- Publishers Weekly "Smoothly switching between third-person narration and Pike's first-person point of view, Taylor skillfully unfolds the story until it feels like you're on a frenzied ride. A surefire page-turner that is nearly impossible to put down." -- Kirkus "Taylor has become the heir apparent to the late Vince Flynn, and his latest thriller featuring Pike Logan and his colleague and girlfriend Jennifer Cahill explodes with action from the first page… The surprises never stop, and the pace never relents. Logan and Cahill are a dream team, and military-thriller fans who seek realistic scenarios should consider Taylor mandatory reading." -- Booklist "While there are countless authors who have tackled telling the stories of heroic men and women, only a few combine the ingredients of suspense, action, larger-than-life characters and some very appropriate dark humor in such satisfying measures. Whether he is picturing a country vista in some remote village or describing the antics of a spoiled military scion, Taylor writes with the accuracy of one who has been there." --Bookreporter.com "A chilling novel for our time, with a frighteningly realistic plot." Huffington Post "Brad Taylor's Pike Logan books would still be great even if Taylor hadn't lived the kind of life about which he now writes. But he hits a new peak with the blisteringly effective "No Fortunate Son" ratcheting up both the professional and personal stakes for Logan's stalwart Taskforce team… With his latest, Taylor firmly entrenches himself on the level of James Rollins, Vince Flynn and Brad Thor as the modern master of the military thriller." --Providence Journal "Fresh plot, great action, and Taylor clearly knows what he is writing about. . . . When it comes to tactics and hardware he is spot-on." -Vince Flynn on All Necessary Force "Bestseller Taylor's fifth Pike Logan thriller takes all the energy of the previous installments and multiplies it by a force factor of 10… A great premise, nonstop action, and one of the baddest villains in the genre... make this a winner." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Polaris Protocol "Taylor continues to tell exciting action stories with the authenticity of someone who knows the world of special ops. He also has the chops to create terrific characters whom readers will root for. This series just gets better and better." - Booklist on The Polaris Protocol "Admirers of the late Tom Clancy will enjoy this and other works in the series." - Kirkus Reviews on The Polaris Protocol "The high violence level and authentic military action put Taylor, a retired Delta Force officer, solidly in the ranks of such authors as Brad Thor and Vince Flynn." - Publishers Weekly "Readers of novels set in the world of Special Forces have many choices, but Taylor is one of the best." - Booklist on Enemy of Mine "Satisfies from start to finish." - Kirkus Reviews on Enemy of Mine, Praise for No Fortunate Son "[E]dge-of-your-seat thriller...nonstop action, intricate story line, and jaw-dropping plot twists." -- Publishers Weekly "Smoothly switching between third-person narration and Pike's first-person point of view, Taylor skillfully unfolds the story until it feels like you're on a frenzied ride.

SynopsisIn the latest military thriller from the retired Delta Force Operator and New York Times bestselling author, a hostage situation places America's most powerful political elite at the mercy of its worst enemies. When veteran operator Pike Logan and partner Jennifer Cahill receive a letter from Blaisdell Consulting; the umbrella cover company for their real employer, a top secret counterterrorist unit called the Taskforce; they expect orders for their next mission-impossible tasking. Instead, they learn that their latest actions have gotten them fired, despite having saved thousands of innocent lives. Pike's shock and fury is redirected when their commander, Colonel Kurt Hale, asks him and Jennifer for help with a personal matter: His niece Kylie, an exchange student in England, has gone missing. Neither Pike nor Jennifer understands how critical her disappearance will become. Meanwhile, all Taskforce teams have been redirected to a developing situation. A terrorist organization has targeted military relatives of key members of the US government, including the vice president's son. Their seizure of hostages was far-reaching and meticulously coordinated, and the full extent of the threat; and potential demands; has thrown the government into turmoil. They face a terrible choice: Cease counter-terrorist operations, or watch hostages die one by one. How much is a single life worth? Unless the Taskforce can decipher the web of lies devised by their enemies, the United States is about to find out., A hostage situation places America's most powerful political elite at the mercy of its worst enemies in this Pike Logan thriller from New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor.

Pike Logan at his best
Another great thriller from Brad Taylor. The plot is well thought out and the attention to detail is amazing. I never thought I would like the idea of Pike becoming involved with his partner but it adds a level of realism to his character and you get to see many sides to his personality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
