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.
