Brad Taylor pens an exceptional narrative in the inaugural book of this series. Having authored two supplementary novellas, "The Call Sign" which initiates the series and "The Dig" designated as book 1.5, which I plan to read subsequently. Within this installment, the protagonist Pike Logan leads a clandestine team that responds directly to the President, tasked with combating terrorism. Logan's affinity for action precipitates his prolonged absences from family during missions, but an unforeseen incident occurs at home during his final mission. Following this event, Logan becomes reclusive, residing on a sailboat he is unfamiliar with navigating. Upon encountering a woman embroiled in trouble courtesy of her uncle, Logan assumes the role of a reluctant hero, leveraging his expertise to safeguard both himself and the woman. As he becomes increasingly entangled, Logan uncovers a terrorist plot while concurrently being pursued by mercenaries hired by a politician. This book is characterized by incessant action and intrigue, rendering it an outstanding read that I wholeheartedly recommend.

this book was a nice surprise. I am looking forward to seeing where the series ventures. Not over written and nicely balanced.

Very sophomoric, and boring

Exactly the type of fiction I have been looking for. Can’t wait for the next one.

Great book that flows well. It draws you in and keeps you turning the pages

Edge of your seat thriller!

Way too many side plots. I love Pike Logan though. Will keep trying.

If you are looking for a new series after reading Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series or Thor’s Harvath series this is not the writer. Very disappointing read.

I needed a new series to read and love characters like Mitch Rapp and John Corey. I saw a posting on social media from Nelson DeMille about Brad’s books and downloaded immediately. I’m totally hooked!

Got started reading Jack Carr but then got introduced to Brad Taylor. Pike Logan would smack James Reese. Obviously joking, but all in all absolute home run. Im hooked.
