Join us for a virtual chat with NYT Best Selling Author Brad Taylor, as he shares his latest suspense novel featuring spies, covert missions, and manhunts.

Bestselling spy thriller author Brad Taylor takes us through his latest work, Shadow Strike, book 20 of the Pike Logan series. 

Register today to learn why the Pike Logan series has everyone buzzing!

A rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot to strike back at their hated enemies once and for all. They envision a devastating attack, starting with assassination of the Israeli prime minister. Only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman, known in the shadows as the Ghost. 

When a routine prison transfer is ambushed, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan.

Pike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. The pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They unravel the scope of the attack, and the chase leads them through the treacherous worldwide locales.

As the team races against the clock, Pike learns the stakes are high with consequences extending into the heartland of America itself. The Ghost may hold the key that will upend the worldwide balance of power, and if Pike fails, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global.

About the Author: Brad Taylor is the author of the New York Times bestselling Pike Logan series. He served for more than twenty years in the U.S. Army, including eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, commonly known as Delta Force. He retired as a Special Forces lieutenant colonel and now lives in Charleston, South Carolina.
