Publisher's summary

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.

Another great book!

Brad Taylor never disappoints and this story might be my favorite.
Rich Orlow is THE VOICE of this series and is masterful with each of the regular and guest characters.
I highly recommend the series.
I love that Brad and his wife visit each foreign setting to ensure accuracy and to find unique and interesting backdrops for the Task Force.

Unique story and a wild ride

I’ve been on the Pike ride for 2 months. 16 books all 5 out of 5. The narrators have been brilliant. An added bonus to brilliantly written stories This one is not outside the realm of possibility. Cannot wait for the next book.

Good and engaging story

Recommended by Bill O’Reilly. I enjoyed the story with its nested stories interwoven throughout. An interesting technique the author uses is to double back to tell the story from the perspective of other characters within a “scene”.

Computer snafu

Loved it. So many different trails to follow and so little time. Pike always comes through.
