Publisher's summary

Compared to such luminaries as #1 New York Times best-selling authors Brad Thor and Vince Flynn, Brad Taylor delivers edgy and adrenaline-drenched military thrillers. The Widow's Strike pits Taskforce operator Pike Logan and his partner Jennifer Cahill against a Chechen suicide bomber intent on releasing a deadly, genetically mutated virus. Traversing the globe to stop this catastrophe, the two soon discover there is a more dangerous enemy lurking in the shadows.

Pike Logan does it again

Would you consider the audio edition of The Widow’s Strike to be better than the print version?

I really don't have much time to read, so I listen to audio books on the way back and forth between the 2 colleges that I teach at.

What did you like best about this story?

The danger of a bio-weapon attack by militant enemies of the US

Have you listened to any of Henry Strozier and Rich Orlow ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Probably have, but I am not sure if I like having two narrators.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book really made me more aware of the nature of Islamic extremists.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy the Pike Logan series,although the concept of a secret council is a little hard to accept.

2 narrators causes confusion

I enjoy this series but find it challenging to continue to listen to the story when it’s broken up with 2 very different voices. They aren’t distinct characters as they both read the same characters in different ways.

Very enjoyable

Pike and Jennifer are as good as they come. Narration was very good. All in all another excellent book by Taylor. The only complaint I have is the penchant of some "operators" to threaten support staff with violence if they don't do the impossible faster. I get that they are violent individuals, and they desperately need whatever they ask for, but the support staff is on their side and deserve a modicum of respect.

keeps getting better

never get tired of this series. mr Taylor drags out all the stops with today's worries about the unstoppable flu being used as a terrorist weapon.

Good story, good details, lacked something...

Good story, good details, lacked something. Unable to determine what was needed, but it held my interest.

Pike vs the inner circle

Well done. Gets better with each pike and Jennifer adventure. Hits close to home with our COVID 19 situation. HA and RO are great though I prefer HA’s gravely voice, but RO is better with each reading. Story line was well developed as were the characters. Author’s pace and intrigue is enhanced by the two reader’s tones and infections. Looking forward to next story. I clearly recommend audible book, but have not read hard copies. Jeff lantz

Review of Book The Widow’s Strike

This was a very good read for me. I felt that I was right there with the team. That’s as close as I ever want to be to such a threat.
