Publisher's summary

A New York Times best seller

Former Special Forces officer and New York Times best-selling author Brad Taylor delivers a heart-pounding thriller featuring Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill as they come face-to-face with a conspiracy where nothing is as it seems.

Hot on the trail of a North Korean looking to sell sensitive US intelligence to the Syrian regime, Pike Logan and the Taskforce stumble upon something much graver: the sale of a lethal substance called Red Mercury.

Unbeknownst to the Taskforce, the Syrians plan to use the weapon of mass destruction against American and Kurdish forces and blame the attack on terrorists, causing western nations to reassess their participation in the murky cauldron of the Syrian civil war.

Meanwhile, North Korea has its own devastating agenda: a double cross that will dwarf the attack in Syria even as it lays the blame on the Syrian government. Leveraging Switzerland's fame for secrecy and its vast network of military bunkers, now repurposed by private investors for the clandestine storage of wealth, North Korea will use Red Mercury to devastate the West's ability to deliver further sanctions against the rogue regime.

As the Taskforce begins to unravel the plot, a young refugee unwittingly holds the key to the conspiracy. Hunted across Europe for reasons she cannot fathom, she is the one person who can stop the attack - if she can live long enough for Pike and Jennifer to find her.

Critic reviews

“Taylor has already established himself as a master of special-ops thrillers, and this one will only add to his stellar reputation.... Taylor adds human depth to his usually plot-driven novels, and the result is one of his best books to date.” (Booklist, starred review)

"Taylor clearly has the qualifications to provide a military thriller with realistic details, and he does just that in this latest addition to the Pike Logan series...a fast-paced thriller. A believable story with the kind of interesting details that keep the pages turning.” (Kirkus Reviews)

"Meticulously plotted...particularly gripping.” (Publishers Weekly)

Well done!

One of the best books in this series thus far! This book had everything a reader could ask for. Suspense, action, sorrow, mystery compassion, and humor. What else is there? I highly recommend this book to everyone that enjoys ' a book to the last page read'!

my favorite book

This is my favorite book by Brad Taylor.. all the different story lines and adding Amena really brings out a different side of Pike's humanity... love love love Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill. Was really happy with just Rich Orlow being the narrator it was past time and his voice work really shines in this book.. I've been through the Pike Logan series 5 times now... every book... love this series

Best Pike Logan thriller yet!

I thought Operator Down was Brad’s best novel to date. Daughter Of War by far exceeds it. Big time congratulations Brad Taylor!!!!!

Good character development but not as good as operator down.

Good character development, but not as good a book and pop reader down. Narrators are fantastic as usual.

best Pike book so far.

Pike is like Mitch Rapp with a heart. However, he will rip yours' out of you if you cross him or the team.

great book

I loved how Amena was brought in and woven throughout the story. The way that Pike, Jennifer and the team interact is... well it is deep. Thanks Brad Taylor and team.

The best Brad Taylor book I have read.

A book to be imprisoned in as you simply can't get away from a pulse pounding tale of very well defined characters you can't help but love and cheer for page after page.
