Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor is back with a dynamic political thriller featuring Pike Logan as he goes head-to-head with an old enemy—and renowned assassin.
After its proxies are devastated and its offensive capability pummeled in the latest war in the middle east, 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 series of operational dominos culminating in a devastating attack, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister. And there’s 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. Working with Mossad agents, the pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They work to unravel the scope of the attack, and the chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World”.
As the team races against the clock, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself. The Ghost may hold the key to an escalation that will upend the worldwide balance of power, and if Pike fails, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Only one team can stop a terrorist plot from wreaking political chaos in this gripping thriller from Brad Taylor’s long-running Pike Logan series. Pike was the one who brought in Iranian assassin Abdul Rahman—a.k.a. the Ghost—and put him behind bars. So when Rahman is broken out of prison by a group whose target is the prime minister of Israel, Pike and the Taskforce are the world’s best and only hope. The excitement in this enthralling listen doesn’t dip for even an instant, as the action spans continents and revelations about the terrorist plot have ever-darkening implications. Taylor swiftly but clearly places all the pieces on the board, making it a great entry point for newcomers to the series, while existing fans will love seeing the return of familiar faces like Mossad agents Soshana and Aaron—and, of course, the Ghost himself. Longtime Pike Logan narrator Rich Orlow brings his signature blend of understated crispness and noirish grit to this breathless espionage tale.
