Pike Logan goes head-to-head with Putin's henchman in this
propulsive and topical edge-of-your-seat thriller from New York
Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad
Taylor. To finally end the war between their nations, a rogue
Ukranian band of partisans known as the Wolves teams up with
members of Russia's military intelligence to assassinate Vladimir
Putin. But Putin is aware of the traitors in his midst and assigns
the loyal commander of the Russian national guard to root them out.
It's a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he
prevents Sweden from joining NATO--by assassinating a deputy
minister of foreign affairs. After receiving intelligence about the
threat in Sweden, the U.S. sends Pike Logan to identify Victor's
target--only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin's
agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears, Pike makes no effort
to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission, believing it just,
until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable
consequences. For Putin is preparing a devastating endgame:
activating the Dead Man's Hand nuclear response that will launch
Russia's missiles in the event of his death. . .

THEY'RE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S SECRET WEAPON. They call them the
Taskforce. Designed to operate outside the bounds of law, trained
to exist on the ragged edge of human capability, their existence is
as essential as it is illegal. Recruited from top operators in the
intelligence spheres and led by ex-Special Forces Operator Pike
Logan, they are apex predators. An unrivalled hunting machine,
until now. On a counter-terrorist mission in the triple frontier -
the lawless border region where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
join - the Taskforce meets its match. And then the unthinkable
happens, Logan's unit goes missing. As he heads to Brazil to
investigate, Logan runs headlong into a crew of Russian assassins.
Forged in combat, the Russians are the Taskforce's equal... but
Logan's on the warpath. He'll do whatever it takes to save his
team. Praise for Brad Taylor: 'It's an excellent read, and I

A New York Times Bestseller! In the latest explosive thriller from
New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer
Brad Taylor, Pike Logan races to stop an insidious attack
orchestrated by a man who knows America's most treasured secrets.
Conducting a routine cover development trip to Tajikistan, Pike and
Jennifer learn that Afghanistan has fallen, and there's a man on
the run. One that has done more for the United States in
Afghanistan than anyone else. Pulled in to extract him, Pike
collides headlong into a broader mystery: His covert company, along
with every other entity in the Taskforce, has been hit with a
ransomware attack, and there's some connection between the Taliban
and the hack. Given the order to track down the perpetrators, he
has no idea that the problem set is much, much larger and more
dangerous than a simple attack on his organization. That hack was
just a test-run, and the real one is coming soon, engendered by a
former NSA specialist in the U.S. government. A man who wants to
return to the bipolar world of the Cold War, the turncoat has
cloaked his attack behind hackers from Serbia and Russia, and if
successful, his target will alter the balance of power on the
global stage. So far, the specialist has remained one step ahead of
the Taskforce, but he has just made one massive mistake: hitting
Pike Logan.

Invented by nature and genetically manipulated by man, a highly
lethal virus has just fallen into the wrong hands. Angered by
sanctions placed against its nuclear program, a rogue state is
determined to release the virus. The only thing standing in its way
is the extralegal counterterrorist unit known as the Taskforce.
Racing against time to stop a global pandemic, Taskforce operators
Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill follow the trail across Southeast
Asia to the United States. But they soon learn that the enemy they
face may not be the enemy they should fear....
Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to
putting their lives at risk, but this time it's Jennifer's brother
who is in danger. As an investigative reporter working on the
Mexican drug cartels, Jack Cahill has unknowingly gotten caught
between two rival groups. His desperate call to his sister is his
last before he's kidnapped.
In their efforts to rescue Jack, Pike and Jennifer uncover a plot
much more insidious than illegal drug trafficking--the cartel that
put a target on Jack's back has discovered a GPS hack with the
power to effectively debilitate the United States.
With the GPS hack about to be exploited and Jack's life at stake,
Jennifer and Pike must find a way to eliminate the impending
threat. The price of failure, for both the Taskforce and the
country, is higher than ever.
